Arthur Yoria's fantastic new album Suerte Something is right in sync with the big buzz about Spanish language indie rock in Europe, but his smoldering, unmistakably Texan blues guitar should tip off listeners to its regional pedigree. This album shows Yoria is becoming a real master of the catchy, sexy alt-pop tune; his pacing on the first track, "Suerte Mijo," is patient to the point of seduction, and the strong, architectural melody line of the beautiful "Este Motodo" means he can linger on each word as long as he likes. And boy, does he like. One of the best things about Suerte Something is how much fun Yoria is having singing these songs. The album has five Spanish tracks and five in English, including two bonus tracks—"Greek Archaic" and "Places Everywhere"—available only on Magnatune.
