The new album from Ela Minus is unlike anything she’s made before. On DIA— released today via Domino, listen here — the producer conjures her world in ten meticulous songs, from jagged and unabashed techno-pop to delicate, atmospheric New Age revivalism. The Colombian native explores the bleeding edge of electronic production while searching for deeper meaning and self-reflection as a songwriter. The result is deeply cathartic. When performed live, as she will this March, it is pure euphoria. DIA features the singles ‘BROKEN’, ‘UPWARDS’, ‘COMBAT’ and the final single from DIA, ‘QQQQ’ – the throbbing and mighty dance track for the end of the world. ​ ​

Minus became a musician when she was nine, serving as the emphatic drummer in a series of Bogota (Colombia) rock bands that practiced religiously and toured heavily. She subsequently split for the Berklee College of Music and then slipped just south, making synthesizers and electronic music in New York. (You can hear evidence of that innovative tenure throughout DIA in the pocked pianos she helped create for Critter & Guitari, plus the ultra-rare Septavox synth made for Jack White). ​ ​ 

She steadily pursued the sounds she’d heard in her head since childhood, synths and sequencers and the new space of being a solo artist getting her closer to it than she’d ever been. And then, her career escalated quickly, a series of self-released EPs netting the surprise Domino deal that led first to acts of rebellion and now DIA. ​ acts of rebellion album features the official videos ‘N19 5NF’, ‘el cielo no es de nadie’ and ‘they told us it was hard, but they were wrong.’. ​
