(A Flor de Piel by Montañera)

Reminiscent of Marina Herlop, Spanish (not Catalan) vocals paired with backing music on the more experimental electron end.

The full album: https://soundcloud.com/montanera/sets/a-flor-de-piel-684072272

This brings to mind her fellow Colombian, Lido Pimienta, in tapping into cumbia rhythms and singing styles.

(via Through My Sister's Eyes: Allison And Katie Crutchfield On Each Other's Music | NPR)

"NPR did something that Allison and Katie say no one's ever tried before: We interviewed each sister, separately, about the other's music. Though the two women weren't in the studio together, their memories and observations interacted as if in conversation with one another: coinciding, diverging, realigning, echoing. Maybe it's no accident that their work — together and separately — seems to do the same".

(Challenge (To Be Continued II) by Jlin)

(Eye Am by Jlin)

Two percussive tracks that deviate from the standard style of Jlin's brand of experimental music originally derived from footwork.

(Hacia el Vac​í​o by Mabe Fratti)

"Mabe says “I focused on the idea of “diagramation”. The act of putting something in a room and the process of how you arrange it and applying this to how we arrange words. It’s about how do you move from one place in the room to the other there are objects in the way? There’s always on option to make a route hard and long or short and easy. Looking at it this way and applying it to communication, I couldn’t separate the idea of simplification and optimization. It’s a matter of purpose.” Throughout the record, Mabe uses the questioning to frame how to link the start and the end of a song. Creating objects for the listener to find as the album progresses from layers of cello, synthesizers, guitars, plates, clappings and field recordings such as the birds of La Orduña".
