Crafting surreal, sci-fi narratives through experimental composition, Lucrecia Dalt’s music is delicate, ornate and otherworldly. Widely touted as one of the best records of the year, on her 2022 album ¡Ay!, the Colombian artist unspools traditional Latin American genres such as bolero and son, reassembling their signature elements with breathy inhales, metallic synthesiser and esoteric beats. Trained as a geotechnical engineer, and having recently ventured into composing film and TV scores, Lucrecia’s ability to plunder the depths of sound, evoking ever more cavernous and evocative landscapes, is unparalleled.
