Album Review: A Danger To Ourselves by Lucrecia Dalt
Absolutly essential, Based on 2 Critics
Based on rating 5/5
From El Boraro, the vampiric demon on 2018's Anticlines, to Petra, the alien observer of 2022's ¡Ay!, Lucrecia Dalt often uses fictional personas to explore complex themes and emotions in her work. However, with A Danger to Ourselves, she sheds the chrysalis of these alter-egos to emerge with her most personal record yet. The title, borrowed from David Sylvian's lyrics on opener cosa rara, hints at the album's preoccupations; emotional volatility, self-sabotage, and the uneasy pull between intimacy and annihilation.
Opinion: Excellent
Pop music ages really fast. I mean, you can still easily dance to Rihanna's 'Diamonds' or A-ha's 'Take on Me', but what once sounded radically experimental and was considered a new turn in the genre just a few years ago, is now seen as one of the most conventional hits, played in every mall. Only seven years ago, Charli XCX’s breakthrough mixtape 'Pop 2' was widely called "a vision of what pop music could be", while the entire PC Music approach was described as "pushing the limits of pop to sickly-sweet extremes".
