★★★ Deixaas ALTAFONTE. CD/DL

Feels like the best yet from the bagpipe-playing folk-punk experimentalist from Coruña, full of overdriven guitars, Tamil-Galician poetry and percussion forged from abandoned heavy industry. A collage of contrasts, that holds together by constantly asking questions of identity (the universal theme de nos jours). And when she turns tender (Olores Perdidos/Lost Scents), she can also be undeniably moving.
