Dec 18, 2015The record’s lack of organization and resistance to stasis work against its accessibility. Those willing to mine such a dense work will be rewarded in a visceral sense, but may be left groping in the darkness for a specific, externally-fabricated meaning. Either way, the abstractness and wandering abandon of Mutant define not only the album, but Alejandro Ghersi’s approach to music.
-
Nov 20, 2015Fast pacing and fragmentary delivery show how Mutant’s tracks operate as experiments in obsessive dysmorphia, taking flaws and magnifying them to scale drama, affect, and beauty out of digital refuse. Exhilarating moments are found next to tracks that only feature impact tail-ends, panned and swirled around a headspace to suspend spatiality further.
-
Nov 18, 2015Mutant is an album of contrasts, and Ghersi has an uncanny ability to let extremes interact with each other to create something new.
-
Nov 18, 2015Whereas Xen had the odd, satisfyingly familiar beat pattern, Mutant is even more punk. It dives headlong into an emotional abyss and proceeds with a rhyme or reason that's up to listeners to determine.
-
Nov 19, 2015Distressing, transcendental and beautiful, it’s a journey so remarkable it could excuse a hundred false starts.
-
Dec 9, 2015The downside of the now-ness, the resistance against static definition, is lack of resolution. Mutant is hard to listen to, sometimes in a salutary way and sometimes not.
-
Nov 20, 2015Aside from the brutal norm its twenty, overwhelming tracks follow, Mutant is also capable of digging up gold.

Feb 25, 2018Not sure this or ''Arca'' is his best album to date. It is amazing how music can touch human feelings. I don't have say anything bad about this album.

Nov 4, 2021Si no es Mutant un himno de gloria en una utopia fituristica, entonces no se que será, hay tantas ideas magníficas aquí.
