The Colombian musician Ela Minus has a whole lot of punk energy to her music – she was a drummer in a punk band and a Black Flag fan from the age of ten after all. But sonically her debut album is a long way from those roots. It’s heavily electronic, has some pounding beats and big pop hooks, but it’s also plaintive, sometimes soaring, laced with the most beautiful echoes of indie forefathers like Cocteau Twins and The Cure in its melodies.
