Disobedience is the meticulously crafted debut album from an atypical artist. Produced entirely at Humus Studios in La Chaux-de-Fonds, it features the same ingredients that set the mood of her first single “December”: dusty pianos, vintage keyboards, reverberating organs and distorted drums. Prune Carmen Diaz chisels out an ageless pop, and carefully lays eight burnt poems in a silky orchestral jewel case.
Prune Carmen Diaz’s background and autistic sensibility hardly made her a natural pretender for the spotlight. Yet, over time, She has allowed herself to be carried along by her entourage, patiently anchoring herself on stage, and managing to make her spleen be heard as raw as it is, without filter nor euphemism. This album is the result of a long journey towards acceptance, which, in her words, could not be achieved without disobedience.
