On "Lené," Club Oro’s latest single, you’re never entirely sure where their taut, misty bedroom pop will take you. Led by singer Cassandra Cronin’s gentle lilt, the track’s clipped metronomic rhythm weaves in and out like a trance. Her clever imagery is just an uncanny, following a soulful, improvised groove that reveals itself the more you engage with it: "Most of art must be explained/Most of secrets end in flames." What once was a duo between Cassandra and her sibling Connor is now a full-fledged five-piece, though even in broadening their musical palette, they remain true to their DIY sensibilities.
"Lené" is featured on Club Oro’s forthcoming debut EP Where’s the Hook?, due out later this fall. Juan Rodríguez
