Here’s a rule of thumb for you: the harder it is to pronounce an artist’s name, the better the music. Like Kemialliset Ystävät, Oneohtrix Point Never, and Candlebox before him, Venezuela’s Algodón Egipcio is sure to make quite the critical splash based on his name alone. His debut album, La Lucha Constante, is due March 22 via Lefse.
