LA ISLA ELECTRONICA - 3:17 Vinyl LP

Portland synth-punk quartet La Isla Electronica arrive with their debut LP 3:17 (a La Carte Records, November 13) - nine songs, twenty-four minutes, sung in Spanish. Susana Sainz, Ian Howe, Amy Kay, and AJ McClary split the difference between the cold romanticism of early-80s Spanish underground electronic music (Aviador Dro, Decima Victima, Esplendor Geometrico) and the bright-edged urgency of femme-fronted American new wave (The Go-Go's, Chin-Chin, Missing Persons). The album writes through migration without sounding like a migration record: memories of Spain bleeding into the strange glow of an American dream that won't quite finish loading. Engineered and mixed by Evan Mersky at Red Lantern Studios in Portland; mastered by Sasha Stroud. Cover paintings by Matt Cosby. Pressed on two limited 12 vinyl variants.
