Lance

A singular vision of fusion music, Chile’s Niños del Cerro take the ‘00s weirdo pop tendencies of the likes of Animal Collective and fuses it with guitar music that packs a whiff of nueva canción folclórica. The results sparkle with a joy that irradiates from track to track, from joyful tones to sad and pensive. “Contigo,” “Flores, Labios, Dedos,” “El Sueño Pesa,” and the title track bring together noise, melody, and energy that make Lance a visionary collection of pop songs with daring arrangements.
