Chikita Violenta

Add Date: February 8 

Artist: Chikita Violenta 

Album: TR3S 

Label: Arts & Crafts 

Genre: Rock, lo-fi 

Comments: TR3S, the latest record from Chikita Violenta, is full of layered, textural, anthemic lo-fi tracks. Hailing from Mexico City, and recently added to the Arts & Crafts label, the group has garnered comparisons to Pavement, Silversun Pickups and Built to Spill (whom they've toured with). There's an experimental quality to their tracks, but eager percussion and vocal harmonies keep the sound in the indie-pop category; overall, TR3S is a great album--energetic and busy but not too cluttered. Start with tracks 1, 3, and 6.
