Lula "Viaje A Marte" (p)2013 Lucinda Records
The best tracks: L, Universos Paralelos, Desde Lo Negro and any other song on the album
Lula is the power-pop trio from town of Castellon led by Spanish indie rock longstay Patricia Escoin who made her name in the end of 80's fronting the band called Los Romeos. The previous albums of Lula (this one is the fourth) were partly spoiled by the songs which might be described as' filler'. But "Viaje A Marte" is absolutely free from this type of trouble - all the songs here are catchy as the fisherman's hooks. Additional fine feature: Pat Escoin has very clear and beautiful voice and she uses it masterfully.
This may not be the most original genre in the world of rock music but it's really well-structured and made with passsion so there's no reason to wrinkle your nose in disgust: "Viaje A Marte" is the kind of album very easy to fall in love with, and if you don't - the chances are you're a snob.
