As El Shirota’s star continues to rise, so does the polish and weight of every new release. Behind the blaring, fuzzed out guitars of “Tarde / Temprano” you’ll find an anxious meditation on the ways time seems to slip out of our grasp as we become older and burdened with responsibility. For a band on the edge of a career breakthrough, “Tarde / Temprano” sounds like a mournful look back at the narrowing gaps between adult commitments. –Richard Villegas (REMEZCLA)
