This emotive Málaga rock trio aim to captivate with Susana Alva's mesmeric, downcast vocals and her equally affecting jangle-prone strum. The jaunty rhythms of bassist Frasco G. Ridgway and drummer Alfredo Baón rarely let up, which means their lovelorn leader eschews mope for the proud stance of someone empowered by loss instead (their bittersweet 2014 album is called Comienzo, or "begin," after all). With an occasionally Americana-owing sound, Efecto Mariposa conjure The Cranberries crossed with dramatic indie rock à la Kings of Leon, setting them apart from others in the Spanish scene.
