If Café Tacuba ’s influential 1994 release, Re,is the Sgt.Pepper ’s of Mexican alt-rock (and the band ’s 1999 "Reves/Yo Soy the “White Album ”), then Eureka Sön, the 2003 debut full-length by Monterrey-based quartet Album, might well be the scene ’s Paul ’s Boutique or OK Computer —maybe both. "Microbricolages," their second LP, offers an hour-long barrage of brief, densely constructed gems—none of which sound Mexican in any conventional sense. But the group’s confident, polished appropriation of pop detritus from everywhere and everywhen assures that Microbricolages loses nothing in translation.
