Artist Description
"Their marvelously rambunctious gigs usually wind up as street parties outside the venue."-The Village Voice
"Mixing the open atmospherics of the Southwest with the gritty feel of the Brooklyn art scene, the bilingual Ani Cordero, who has worked with Calexico and Giant Sand and her band make guitar rock that gives urban brashness some borderland mystery."
-The New York Times
"The band of indie-rock veterans switches easily between atmospheric Southwestern ballads and guitar-and-drum driven numbers, and Ani Cordero's moody vocals re-imagine the notion of Spanish rock."
-The New Yorker
While Ani Cordero and husband Chris Verene (formerly of The Rock*A*Teens) are best known for their critically acclaimed, tension-laden independent rock, with De Donde Eres, the band has taken a side-route away from the anxious and angular sounds of En Este Momento or Lamb Lost in the City. De Donde Eres finds Cordero further exploring the rhythmic intricacies of Latin music while turning down the guitar amps for a much more quiet and inward set of songs. Ani's ever-nimble guitar patterns are threaded around Latin percussion, pulsing bass notes and bright horn lines as the band wrings a both-sides-of-the-border mystery out of gentle melodies that pay tribute to forebears such as Nick Drake, Belle and Sebastian, and Os Mutantes.
