"Madres" by Sofia Kourtesis

DV:

Maybe my favorite thing about Sofia Kortesis's music is the way it situates you in a space. In "Madres" it's the crackle of vinyl, the clink of bottles, the snippets of chatter that fade into the mix and out again just as quickly. It's a trick I first heard from The Avalanches twenty years ago, and one that retains its potency even now. The sensation is like walking into a room where a musician's already playing, a room that's also full of conversations and stories and interactions that you may or may not find yourself part of as the evening continues. The music welcomes you, but so does the atmosphere. It's possible to take this too far - to lose sight of the backbone of the song and wind up with a collection of disconnected vibes - but Kourtesis never risks this, keeping the focus on her melody and message even as she envelops the space in the warmth that feels instantly familiar. The lyrics to "Madres" speak of home, but the song sounds like you're already there.

MG:

Warm and inviting, “Madres” is a rustic mid-winter dinner party of a dance song. It vibes and grooves on a rumpled linen table runner, gold rimmed glasses filled with naturally fermented orange wine gleam in the airy vocals, speckled ceramic serving dishes bring forth the harvest’s bounty in its earthy electronics. Everyone who attends this party wears a bright smile and rosy cheeks and their eyes are clear, bracing, and untroubled. No one is quite related but they are all united, tethered to one another in their embrace of joy, the season, the way the snowflakes and the fire crackles are the exact same size. “Madres” is the J. Crew catalog, Christmas, 1996.

Fetiche Sonoro's Best Albums of 2023

Guys! these are the best collection of recordings issued as a single piece of 2023, and we are very excited that you can enjoy these delightful albums.

Madres by Sofia Kourtesis

At first glance, The Peruvian's first album appears to effortlessly combine European house music with Latin American influences, exuding a predominantly joyful atmosphere. However, beneath the surface, it reveals itself as a profound, emotionally intricate, and contemplative work that invites the listener to dance. While addressing weighty themes, the album remains fundamentally grateful, joy-infused, and celebratory in its essence.

Corsé by Clara Peya

The Catalan artist has assembled a talented group of thirteen diverse performers known for their exceptional interpretation skills, combining profound lyrics with dynamic shifts in emotion. Every track on the album exudes the same level of passion and elegance, each in its unique style. The impressive production –driven by a subtle form of electronica that doesn’t overpower the rest, and featuring a piano with graceful touches– is truly remarkable.

Habita by Pahua

The Mexican musician has continuously released songs since 2020 but this time she finally releases her debut album, which is jam-packed with international collaborators. While not overly ambitious the production aims to experiment with different genres gracefully encased in dazzling electronic folk.

Lucha by Y La Bamba

It's unusual for a project to realize its complete potential after so many years, but that appears to be precisely the case with Y La Bamba from Portland. Luz Elena Mendoza's music has taken on an unprecedentedly smooth, immersive, and surreal quality, as familiar sounds continuously transform into unfamiliar forms. The unique dimensions, layers, and shadows within this music are genuinely perceptible in this production.

Vidrio by Titanic

Exploring innovative pathways in contemporary composition, jazz, and art song, Guatemala-native cellist and vocalist Mabe Fratti collaborates with Mexico City multi-instrumentalist Hector Tosta. Their artistic direction defies genre constraints, with each composition centered around the distinct clarity of Fratti's prominent voice. The musical journey traverses a spectrum of styles, ranging from jazz and chamber pop to intricate guitar polyrhythms.

====

Latin electronic. There are very subtle Latin undertones throughout which adds just the right amount of salt that makes an album like this unique along with her vocals. This is her debut album although she has been on the electronic circuit for a while working with indie labels and touring. I'll definitely be following her in the future for live events.

Live Review: Hot Chip at The Warehouse Project in Manchester 03 February 2023

Words: Mark Bowers As a huge fan of Hot Chip for nearly twenty years, the excitement of seeing them for the first time since late 2019 could not be quashed by anything – man nor beast. A train strike? Nah. Overzealous drug spaniel (incorrectly) detaining me on entry because I had a dog treat in my pocket? No sir, tonight I’m going to dance like it’s 1999 and under muted lights I’ll be raving…
