REVIEW

Second installment of “Aprender A Ser” the third album from Mexican dream pop/shoegaze band Mint Field. This release continues the introspective atmosphere established in the first half, where ethereal dream pop intertwines with subtly shadowed trip-hop textures, creating a hazy, inward-facing soundscape.

Moments like #5 “Una flor sin interior” and #6 “Ve hacia la ventana” introduce bursts of psychedelic noise reminiscent of the band’s debut album. These passages briefly cut through the album’s otherwise restrained mood, adding contrast and preventing the overall flow from settling into uniformity.

The band’s Spanish-language vocals remain a defining element, lending an exotic warmth that enhances the album’s immersive quality. The effect is gently intoxicating—less overwhelming than enveloping—inviting the listener into a dreamlike state that feels both intimate and transportive.

Taken together, this second part functions as a subtle but effective expansion of Aprender A Ser, balancing refinement with flashes of raw, psychedelic intensity. For listeners drawn to the blurred emotional contours of Slowdive, the nocturnal pulse of Portishead, or the soft-focus shoegaze of deary, this release offers an inviting passage into an alternate headspace.
