The last time we wrote of musician, performer, composer, and sound artist Lucrecia Dalt, was in 2013 in a review of a Julia Holter performance at The Cube Microplex in Bristol. Dalt opened the show, and Thomas Blake wrote: …her modernist loops and dream-pop vocals are given a grungy edge by a coolly aggressive bass guitar. There is something captivating about a solo performer with a bass guitar – the instrument’s physical length and poise mean it resembles a single outstretched wing, at once impressive and melancholy, and Dalt’s own stillness in the centre of her waves of sound reflects this.
Over ten years later her audience has grown significantly following the release of her acclaimed 2022 album ¡Ay!. She has also made a name for herself as a composer for film and TV.
Released on the highly respected RVNG Intl. label, cosa rara is Dalt’s first solo offering since ¡Ay! and features a rare appearance from David Sylvian and the first taster of her full cosa rara EP to be released in digital and 7” editions on Friday, February 28th.
“The lyrics paint an urban experience of the sublime” notes Lucrecia. “A deliciously lurid scene between two lovers, reveling in each other’s presence so fervently that they create a wild magnetic force field, attracting all sorts of delightful chaos around them. They disrupt the fabric of reality, with anomalies seeping in from the edges of perception.”
Lucrecia Dalt’s cosa rara will be released on 7″ vinyl and digital editions on February 28, 2025.
