Welcome everyone to a special emergency episode of Dysect. I'm your host, Cole Kushna.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are in the presence of greatness. I could probably count on both hands

in the last, what, 10 years of albums that upon first listened, I understood were masterpieces. I think about to

Pimp a Butterfly, the first experience I had with that album, understanding how special it was,

not fully understanding what it was, but understanding it was special and a great masterwork of

our time. I think about similar feelings with Frank Ocean's Blonde.

I personally felt this way about Kanye West Yeezus when I first heard that record.

Kid A by Radiohead back in 2000 when I first heard that record.

And I got the same feeling when I listened to Rosalia's new album Lux.

Sometimes you just know, and for me, Rosalia's Lux,

is that fucking album. It is that good. It is a masterpiece. Rosalia for me has entered that

final tier of artistry where I do place the Kendricks, the Franks, the radioheads, the Bjorks,

the Cognhs, the outcasts, you know, she's there for me now.

Lux confirmed it.

She has a great body of work behind Lux, but Lux, for me, is the one.

I've been very vocal about this on social media and specifically because I think there's a lot of barriers to this record that could potentially

turn away some listeners because it is sung in 13 different languages. She is a Spanish artist.

There's not a lot of drums on this record. It's very classically influenced, which we'll talk

about. And so I can see these things being barriers of entry for some people. And I'm

deliberately being loud about my

opinion on this record so that hopefully it breaks some of those barriers and inspires people to

give this record the time it deserves, even if it doesn't translate to you personally on first
