\"carrie\"
\nsolo artist carrie<\/strong> (laura becerra) is signed to tijuana’s static discos<\/a> – and she’s in good company, sharing a table with both fax<\/strong> and murcof<\/strong>, two of mexico’s most impressive electronic artists. they both lend a hand for carrie’s album ‘honey blue star’; fax<\/strong> (ruben tamayo) on production duties, with the final master by fernando corona (murcof<\/strong>). having been a member of many mexican bands, such as mery poppins<\/strong>, bar√≥n ashler<\/strong> and miyagi<\/strong>, ‘honey blue star’ is her debut solo project – a split release with spain’s dearstereofan label.
\nthe press blurb helpfully references morr music (esp. lali puna<\/strong>), tujiko noriko<\/strong> and hope sandoval <\/strong>as points along the compass, however i can’t help but feel that carrie<\/strong> takes a more celebratory approach than such artists, and – unlike noriko – the production never gets in the way of the simple melodies. that said, there’s not one track on ‘honey blue star’ that opts for a traditional folk route, despite the central instrumentation of voice and acoustic guitar. every track takes a different production approach, whether it’s a heavily effect-laden vocal (‘aloha marii’), a splash of tiny gltiches (‘complicado’) or stumbling, drunk dub beats (‘eco’), there’s a twist at every turn – which makes the album all the more thrilling to consume in one sitting. and despite the obvious references to another singer-songwriter, the first of the two mp3s below does indeed appear to be about felines.
