Lali Puna Our Inventions

The new album by Lali Puna, the first one in six years! 'Our Inventions: An album, that's made for and about the modern world, concerning itself with the driving forces of progress and technological obsession. It's music exhibits the hallmarks of an album spun from intensive studio-bound introspection - all the elements are at once precision engineered and delivered with absolute heartfelt conviction; perhaps never before have such jubilant pop hooks been so meticulously and fastidiously crafted, yet you can always hear the soul behind these machines. and sure enough, Our Inventions is a body of work that keenly engages with the concerns of its time, one that confronts the excesses and ever-accelerating pace of modernity. The sublime, virtuoso electronic arrangements of Our Inventions directly lock onto the record's recurrent key themes, depicting a world inundated with technology and consumed by a fixation on progress - simultaneously passing commentary on this state of affairs and overcoming it. Maybe this is Lali Puna's masterpiece so far.
