Muy Cansado

Muy Cansado is Spanish for “very tired.” Initially just a derelict inscription on the wall of the band’s rehearsal space, the music of Boston band, Muy Cansado is energetic and awake. 2013 brings Muy Cansado’s third release, a nine song LP titled Let It Go. Muy Cansado’s self-released debut album, Stars & Garters (2008), inspired comparisons to ‘90s acts like the Pixies and Letters to Cleo. With their 2010 EP, Love and Fear, founders Chris Mulvey (vocals and guitars) and Lisa Libera (vocals and bass) teamed with Jon Ulman (drums) to further develop their sound. Let It Go is a product of the band’s evolution and explores broader and richer dimensions only hinted at in previous releases.

Let It Go’s songs are melodically rich and rhythmically limber. The lyrical themes are anxiety and release (letting go), but the dance and pop sensibilities prioritize body movement over lyrical scrutiny. The call and response between Mulvey and Libera in the opening tracks “Falling Down” and “Predisposed” highlights their idiosyncratic connection. Their vocal interplay is an integral element throughout the album. The Boston Herald described lead single, “Not For Nothing,” as “a little slice of rock ’n’ roll heaven.” The album’s title track, “Let It Go,” takes the band out of its normal element into a more atmospheric, orchestral realm.

“These songs are all stellar; plus Chris and Lisa’s harmonies are simply magical. I was going to call out the songs that I loved, but in all honesty I loved every track.” - The Noise

“Glorious indie pop….Theirs is a pop centered amalgamation of punk, rock, and alternative that never fails to leave us impressed.” - Boston Band Crush

“Effervescent pop-rock with a punky undercurrent that practically demands repeated spins.” - Dayton Daily News
