Opuntia^MX

Opuntia surge luego de casi diez años de trayectoria como Camila Fuchs, el dúo con el que de Laborde publicó tres álbumes -uno en colaboración con Peter Kember aka Spacemen3- y con el que abrió a artistas como Plaid, Actress y William Basinski. Como solista, Camila continúa con la voz como parte esencial de su proceso, mientras toma sintetizadores, cajas de ritmos y procesos de mezcla analógica para crear un sonido que se expande hacia el pop experimental con líricas en inglés y en español.

Opuntia is Camila de Laborde solo debut, an alias that shows her most dreamlike, intimate and experimental side. Mercurio, the album that she will present as part of the selected artists of the Frente Nacional Call, was made over two years and will soon be released by the iconic Umor Rex label.

Opuntia emerged after almost ten years of experience as Camila Fuchs, the duo with which de Laborde released three albums -one in collaboration with Peter Kember aka Spacemen3- and with which she opened for artists such as Plaid, Actress and William Basinski. As a solo artist, Camila continues to use vocals as an essential part of her process, as she takes synthesizers, drum machines, and analog mixing processes to create a sound that expands into experimental pop, with lyrics in English and Spanish.
