A Danger To Ourselves

Description

With A Danger to Ourselves, Lucrecia Dalt returns to the intimate. Abandoning the fictional constructions of her previous albums, the Colombian artist delivers a direct, sensitive and introspective work, nourished by fragments of a new relationship and moments gathered on tour. Her voice, at the center of the album, unfolds within a rich and finely crafted acoustic framework, alongside organic percussion and multiple collaborations — notably David Sylvian, co-producer of the album, as well as Juana Molina and Camille Mandoki. Between Spanish and English, between sound collage and percussive rhythms, Dalt sketches a shifting balance between human fragility and formal purity. The production is deliberately anti-conceptual: here, there is no linear narrative, but a succession of instinctive gestures and sophisticated compositions, driven by a quest for sonic clarity. Through this musical alchemy, Dalt delves into the substance of emotion with new precision, making this album a suspended space, both personal and universal.
