Opera

Acerca de Opera

Resumen

Opera es el álbum de estudio debut del dúo austriaco Tosca. Combina material nuevo y sencillos previamente lanzados, incluyendo "Chocolate Elvis". "Irresistibly funky" (BBC), "the blues, and the thick sultry bass, makes it as sexy and melancholy as cigarette smoke after a one-night stand in a strange city" (Mixmag). Es "one of the few sure things in a modest genre" (Sasha Frere-Jones, LA Weekly).
