Juan Son, ex-lead singer of Guadalajara-based indie rock band Porter has officially released his debut solo album. “Mermaid Sashimi” was released February 18, 2009 in music stores throughout the Mexican republic by Universal Mexico, and is pending distribution across the U.S. According to Juan Son, the album is composed of songs that were written before and during his time with Porter and, unlike the music that catapulted the then freshman band to perform before massive audiences in Coachella and Mexico’s Vive Latino, “Mermaid Sashimi” is a more organic approach at expression that strays from the traditional guitar- and drum-driven beats. In this 11-track album, music samples created by ambient effects and sounds are presented by Juan Son’s trademark ethereal vocals and a Cocteau Twins- and Björk-inspired twist.
