Zoé’s Britpop and psychedelic influences set the band apart in its native Mexico. Produced by Phil Vinall (Radiohead), “Nada” constructs a musical bridge from Manchester to Mexico City. Comparisons to Placebo and the Cure are favorable, with moody keyboards, Duane Eddy–like guitar twang, and passionate vocals from León Larregui building to a climactic end. Let Zoé escort you down the tunnel into Mexico’s alt-rock underground. If you like the single, check out the album

Peruvian singer/songwriter Gian Marco shows off his balladeer style on this song from his latest, Desde Adentro. Abetted by a folk acoustic guitar that occasionally veers into flamenco-style flourishes, Gian Marco cries and croons in his sweet, romantic style. This one’s for the lovers.

On this song, the opening track from Chilean artist Gonzalo Yañez’s self-titled album, Yañez makes the most of every nuance of stereo sound capabilities. Acoustic guitars pan across, outer-space synthesizers meld into sing-song choruses, and Yañez sounds like he’s singing just out of reach. The combined result is a Technicolor dream, part Beatles, and part Flaming Lips.
