A CASA is a solo project from José de Diego from Mendoza, Argentina, who on his new album called Un pozo en el sol showed some really interesting and complex electro dream pop.
There's so much going on on this album. The majority of the sounds is made of lively electro-pop vibes decorated with more or less dream pop vocals, but there are also such genre-deviations as almost metal voices in He Mirado Atrás, very impressive electronic closure of Hoy no, or featuring Agustina Bécares whose vocals make the album even more diverse. Not to mention the monumentally electronic finish in the two-part track Coty3.
But the most important is how easy it is for the artist to combine catchiness and atmosphere-building, especially when it comes to my favourite track, one of the entirely new compositions (some other are reimaginations of older songs), Contaba - who would guess that a song with a chorus about counting to six in Spanish could be what I needed to be happy?
Un pozo en el sol costs 7 USD.
