It’s simple enough to account for the cutthroat kind of gravitas at the forefront of Consuelo, the sophomore release from experimental Catalan duo Los Sara Fontán. Like most of us, violinist Sara Fontán and percussionist Edi Pou are fed up with many of the phenomena that shape our small world: rising authoritarianism, the worsening climate crisis, the slow and fast violence borne of technocapitalism, war, genocide, and the rest. Accordingly, they have a lot to say about Consuelo, an album remarkable for the messages it conveys through the aural construction of intensely evocative soundscapes that feature not a single spoken word.
