bvolso grows The Cornfields into Costa Rican art-rock tenderness

bvolso’s The Cornfields arrives on 6 June with a wonderfully odd little question attached: who’s your special place, who’s your cornfield? That line gives the release immediate personality. Coming from Cartago, Costa Rica, the track is tagged around progressive rock, art rock, indie rock, jazz and improvised music, math rock and rock, but the heart of it seems warmer than the genre list might suggest. The page frames the piece around love, corns and dahlias, which is exactly the kind of specific, slightly surreal emotional language independent music needs more of. bvolso’s background points toward art rock, progressive rock, folk rock and Latin jazz influences, and The Cornfields sounds like it could sit at the meeting point between musical complexity and simple human longing. Not every love song needs to say the word love loudly. Some just need a field, a strange image and a guitar line that understands.
