An Album at Its Most Personal
Lucrecia Dalt, who has long wandered through worlds of characters and fantasy, this time blends her music entirely in an inward-facing path. A Danger to Ourselves (September 5, 2025) stands out as her most intimate work, interpreting the fragility, love, and states of attachment she experienced after an epileptic seizure through avant-garde textures.
Emotions that Accumulate Sound
The album replaces the fragmented narratives Dalt has long constructed with her own presence: vocals blended between English and Spanish, the rhythmic keys of Alex Lázaro, and a sonic world woven with contributions from names like Juana Molina and Camille Mandoki.
Particularly the song cosa rara, with its dialogue with David Sylvian and its metaphorical car crash narrative, becomes a striking embodiment of emotion.
The Album Through Critics’ Eyes
- The Skinny (5/5): “A cinema that unfolds on its own: drawing the complex landscapes of the soul like a metaphorical map.”
- Clash (8/10): “Strange, unsettling, yet a bit closer to pop… Melodic traps that call you either to dance or to hide.”
- Far Out Magazine: “An album trembling within the first sparks of love, where sorrow and passion intertwine.”
- Boomkat: “Poetic, filled with open tension, and an experience that refuses to stay balanced.”
In Dalt’s Own Words on the Album
“In the past, I shaped my stories with films and texts; I created fiction to preserve my distance. This time, I tore down those protective walls and turned music into a landscape that tells of love and miracle.”
The Structure and Traces of the Album
Looking at the album details on Bandcamp, we encounter a total of 14 tracks; a strong collection enriched with contributions from Juana Molina, Camille Mandoki, and more. Special edition vinyls and multi-layered instrumental textures give this work a fabric that feels both touched and lived.
Final Word: The Power and Light of Fragility
A Danger to Ourselves is not only where Lucrecia Dalt processes her fragility, but also the deep resilience and the light of love that emerge from within that fragility—crafted into music as a map of inner discovery. This time there is no fiction, only the confrontation of an authentic human being.
This album does not tell of an internal explosion; it portrays surrender through sound, a stage universe where emotion meets rhythm.
