future lullabies

About Me

Paúl Marrón and Guillermo Bátiz are the dynamic duo behind the epic electronic lullabies of Childs. Inspired by anime aesthetics, icelandic elfin pop, sounds from the shoegaze era in the early nineties and indie rock, this project was originated in 2001 in Ensenada, Mexico. Their music stops short of being more than dream passages in a world full of pop opportunities, transcending simple trends of indie electronic music.
With live instrumentation and intense performances in a live setting, they are one of the young electronic acts that live up to the task of transforming the precepts of Mexican electronic and rock music. Their music is a soft mélange of digital, analog and acoustic sounds that they describe as electronic lullabies. Childs craft music that is challenging, endearing and captivating.

- YUI reviews -

"... with Yui, Childs manages that bittersweet trick of managing to effortlessly marry moments of deep melancholy with settings of heart-stopping sonic beauty."
- Grooves Magazine
"...good people have many things to be sad about. As harsh as it can be, these aural images are breathtaking."
- * * * * URB Magazine
"...throughout the album, voices drift through dreamy, string-laden landscapes while chiming guitars transport songs into higher galaxies..."
- Textura
"...there's both calm and sadness in Yui, the dreams of childhood carrying with them the disappointments of adulthood as well. Magic and loss, both projected beautifully."
- Erasing clouds
"... as overall package is one that creates the suggestion of future memories of a perfect childhood that will never exist but still has a calming influence in a troubled present."
- Mexadelic
"Estamos ante uno de los discos más hermosos del año, música electrónica de finas texturas, beats minimales y sampleos fuertemente cimentados en regresiones infantiles... un álbum que guarda dentro de si un concepto de ensueño muy fuerte que como al despertar, no por mucho interpretar se logra comprender de lleno..."
- Indie-gente
"...los de Ensenada alcanzan momentos realmente bellos... sobre un trabajo que (milagro en este 'subgénero') rozando la hora de duración deja el aburrimiento a kilómetros de distancia..."
- 8.25, Avantfolk
"...texturas melodiosas que nos trasladan a lugares relajantes, agradables y sin estruendos. Electrónica para olvidarnos de la presión urbana."
