Mi Universo, the new studio album by
Cooper, the Spanish indie pop group of former
Los Flechazos leader Álex Díez Garín, was recorded at London's legendary Konk Studios -- and it's easy to understand why. Garín remains typically and lovingly fixated on '60s British pop music and all of its successive incarnations, from
the Beatles and
the Kinks to
Elvis Costello,
Teenage Fanclub, and
the Stone Roses, as eloquently demonstrated by these ten new songs of ringing guitars, vocal harmonies, and wistful lyrics. ~ Mariano Prunes
