After three albums with her duo\/band, Camila Fuchs (ATP\/Felte, etc.), Camila decides to embark on a new path of musical and interpersonal exploration with Opuntia as her new alias, and with the album \u003cem\u003eMercurio\u003c\/em\u003e as a statement of metamorphosis and creative process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, \u003cem\u003eMercurio\u003c\/em\u003e is a direct impact of beautiful melodies, rhythms, and vocals traversing an axis of avant-garde electronic pop, sprinkled with elegant nods to experimental transitions. In \u003cem\u003eMercurio\u003c\/em\u003e, spaces, textures, and echoes reminiscent of a retro science fiction analogy can be perceived. Bass hits or percussion carry a weight that bursts but delicately dissolves instantly, perhaps another analogy, akin to liquid metal. From softness to fury throughout the ten songs, Opuntia proposes an artistically reinvented constant movement. Speeds and spaces change, but the narrative remains consistent from start to finish, finding a place, a resolved utopia. \u003cem\u003eMercurio\u003c\/em\u003e is cheerfully dark, with substantial doses of sophisticated pop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMusic and lyrics by Camila de Laborde (Opuntia).
