E.R.R.A. - Light of Love

When you think about electronic music from Mexico the first bands that come to mind will probably be Hocico, or in the later days, their supporter Amduscia. E.R.R.A. is a whole new star on the Mexican sky and they have chosen a little more soft path but without becoming wimpy in any way.

E.R.R.A. is danceable electro pop from the heavier school with a very clear inspiration from the modern dance music. Even though that this genre is kind of hard to evolve this artist feels quite creative. The singer Rick Nava uses his voice in a kind of different way and uses sounds that you do not regularly hear in this kind of music. The background singer Sara makes it all a little bit more unusual and with a new good taste.

My favourites on this album are the sweet tracks "Not There" and "Energy In Your Eyes" and the more techno inspired tracks "Beauty in the world" and "Seems to be a Light".

Every now and then some of the tracks feel a bit meaningless, but at the larger part it's a very nice surprise and a nice mix of Mexican electronic art.
