Salamanca

Ecuador’s Sexores deliver their magnum opus by distilling their many sides into a singular vision. A sort-of concept album around the themes of ancient witches and modern feminism, Sexores make a spellbinding record driven by melody, mood, and emotion, as heard on tracks such as “Volantia.” Elsewhere, “Nos Lo Dijo La Serpiente” puts a black veil over the proceedings, while the downtempo goth pop of “Mistress of The Marble Hill” works like a sinister lullaby. Salamanca flows effortlessly from one soundscape to the other.
