Staff Pick: Amy
I love this record! From the opening Django-esque guitar instrumental and opening lines, "The sun is filled with ice and gives no warmth at all," you know this record is going to be decidedly different. It's an album of great contrasts and contradictions, where everything seems to mean the opposite. Laden with Cuban swagger and sparse Latin grooves, the music floats along innocently as the lyrics embrace wide-eyed goodbyes, regrets and misunderstandings in the desparate attempt to pick up the pieces of one's broken heart. There isn't another album like this that I know of. --Amy
