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 gleaned while touring. Her voice, central to the arrangement, unfolds within a rich and sculpted 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 explores the essence of emotion with new precision, making this album a suspended space, both personal and universal.
