“Si va a ser así / Que se acabe el mundo,” Ela Minus sings on “QQQQ”, the final preview from the electronic producer’s new album, DÍA. “Ultimamente siento que / Todos estamos de acuerdo en que esto es / El fin de los tiempos / Y si vamos a dejarnos ir / Yo prefiero que se acabe aquí.” At these end times, the disenchantment with finding a way out of this mess humanity has made of itself is palpable, and if we as a society are going to collectively agree that we’re headed toward nothing but a bleak path downhill that only serves to line a smart number of people’s pockets with money you can’t take to the grave, then there’s no need to further keep going. Still, if it this it, the final sparks Minus emits from her dance floor are spectacular sight to behold. If this is the last hurrah for humanity, she’s making it worth going hard for.

Ela Minus’ DÍA will be released January 17th on Domino Recording Co.
