Aroah - "El Día Después"

Aroah's much anticipated third studio long player, El día después, brings ten songs sung in Spanish where sincerity lays next to hope: smart, moving, stylistic and melancholic folk pop music that's often orchestral yet intimate. Irene Tremblay goes from somber blame into the brightness of a morning walk, like faint sunlight slipping through leaves. 29 minutes worth of poetry, rich instrumentation and sharp observations of everyday life. Produced by Raül Fernandez (Refree), she now sings every line in Spanish (except for some words in English and French), surmounting all the shyness she has suffered from since she started writing lyrics. Not far from Ida, Mary Timony or Lisa Germano (she has even been called “a Catpower you can relate to”), Irene now turns what used to be folk raised in an American hotbed into a sincere and moving and (often) orchestral pop.
