There’s peering into a forest from its terminus, your mind’s eye giving shape to indistinguishable shadows, and then there’s wandering deep within, so deep you lose yourself in games of mushroom hunting and amateur entomology.
Argentinian instrument-maker Barrio Lindo’s 2012 EP, Sistema Respiratorio, accomplished something like the former, but its follow-up, 2013’s Libres, was all latter. That project’s standout track, “La Cueva,” now serves as the first single for Lindo’s debut LP, Menoko, which contains five of Libres’ six songs, along with seven new tracks, all of which are streaming on the Project Mooncircle Bandcamp page.
Don’t make like a tree and leave; do like a dryad and enjoy the sylvan video for “La Cueva” above, and if you like, then consider picking up Menoko on purple vinyl or cassette from this hhv.de site way over yonder. Just don’t forget your way back to the wind farm.
