Playlist 



I surfed the web while listening to this. It's very chill. A lot of foot tapping.

Almost all songs are moderate in tempo (96-132 bpm).

There is an interesting choice of percussion in some songs, like the tambourine. Electronic elements give the music an ambient feel. Distortion to guitars also add to the ambient classification; however, clean acoustic guitars are also used. The lyrics are repetitive and catchy. Vocals are somewhat raspy, which I personally love. There's also a lot of vocal experimentation with audible breathing that adds a touch of reality to the fantastical music.

1.6.13

Album: Lejos. No Tan Lejos. ; Artist: Hello Seahorse!

Hello Seahorse! provides a voice so melodic and haunting. Someone must have told the lead singer she sounded what folk legend character La Llorona sounded like because she did a song about her that illustrated perfectly what she might sound like.

I've provided lyrics here: Foreign Lyrics.



This music's very poppy and ambient-like. I can't tire of listening to lead singer Denise's opera-like voice.



I also find most of lyrics to be accusations. And full of self-motivational/proof phrases.








For the next song skip to 5:42 for an acoustic version of Casa Vacia.
