DESCRIPTION: It is hard to define the true nature of “Mexico”, with its dark hues, but possibly not as melancholy as the previous works. The title speaks of escape, of shelter, a place anything but quiet, a land of contrast where desperate violence is generated by the economic gap.
The multi-coloured graphics and naïf artwork of the band suggest a glimmer of hope, possibly as a means to deceive the audience.

REVIEWS: The Silent Ballet, Blow Up, Foxy Digitalis, Radio 3, Il Mucchio...
"A place that is as stone-faced serious, as dangerous, as dusty-dry, as pristinely recorded, as expertly arranged, as beautifully composed, and as undeniably fun as “Mexico.”" FOXY DIGITALIS (Crawford Philleo)
"A hybrid of post-rock, electro-acoustics and pop, unlike anything else. Mexico may be the bands magnum opus. Highly recommended." THE SILENT BALLET (Joseph Sannicadro)
“Un lavoro molto interessante e di difficile definizione. Fortunatamente. Un lavoro che a noi piace molto" BATTITI - RADIO 3 (Nicola Catalano)
"Sparkle in Grey, assurément l’un des groupes italiens les plus intéressants de l’époque." AUTRES DIRECTIONS (Jérôme Olivier)
"Un altro disco semplicemente meraviglioso. Tutto è perfetto in Mexico" IL MUCCHIO (Giovanni Linke)
"This album is a beautiful mix of different styles of music into one worldwide musical style" VITAL WEEKLY (JKL)
"Meine absolute Empfehlung!" KULTUR TERRORISMUS (RaF)
"Un progetto che oggi incarna una delle realtà più interessanti, sperimentali ed inclassificabili della scena elettronica nazionale." INDUSTRIAL [r]EVOLUTION (Giovanni Rossi)
"Un disco veramente notevole e da apprezzare" WONDEROUS STORIES (D.A.)
