Not content with releasing one of the finest Spanish albums of 2011 in La Zona Sucia,
Nacho Vegas concluded the year in style with the six-track EP
Cómo Hacer Crac.
Vegas is certainly no stranger to the format, as he likes to complement his full-length albums with related material -- songs that were initially considered for an album, or recorded soon after its release. Indeed, little separates these six songs from the ones in La Zona Sucia, as all are typical examples of
Vegas' sterling craft. By the same token, all could only be faulted for a certain sameness, probably
Vegas' Achilles heel.
Vegas fans certainly will have no objections, even less so since the singer/songwriter has made the EP available for free from his website. ~ Mariano Prunes
