If Arbol had been around in the late-’80s they would probably have been snapped up by 4AD and promoted as the missing link between the Cocteau Twins and This Mortal Coil.
Singer Suzy Mangion has one of those voices that hovers between ethereal and doleful, while Miguel Marin is a master at creating delicate, ambient soundscapes.
