Descripción: HUESO RECORDS AND “Y” PRODUCTIONS PRESENT: NUTRIA NN: CD LAUNCH PERFORMANCE AT PETE’S CANDY STORE On Saturday August 9th at 10:00pm, Brooklyn’s Chilean punk-folk band Nutria NN will launch in the U.S. their second album “Nutria NN” with an intimate and quiet presentation at prestigious Pete’s Candy Store in Williamsburg, NYC. (L,G Trains to Lorimer/Metropolitan) “[Nutria NN] gives an almost exquisite poignancy to the lyrics." Roberta Smith, New York Times “Nutria NN takes the 1970’s South American folk tradition and transplants it to New York. Modern and nostalgic, with songs in English and Spanish and from the perspective of a Latin American in this country, Nutria NN could not exist anywhere but this city. […] Melancholic, conceptual, harrowing folk-rock.” NYRemezcla.com
