AMG Review of Bestia

Mark Deming
All Music Guide

Hello Seahorse! are one of Mexico's most acclaimed indie rock bands, whose cool but impassioned sound is dominated by pulsating keyboard lines and the breathy vocal stylings of lead singer Denise Gutiérrez. Released in 2009, Bestia was the band's second full-length album, and earned enthusiastic reviews in Mexico and the United States for its languid melodies and expressive musicianship. Songs include "Criminal," "Siberia," "Oso Polar," "El Segundo," "Del Cielo Se Caen," and more.
