With her sophomore album due in 2020, Angelica Garcia articulates the dichotomous life experience of so many 2nd generation immigrants growing up between family and habitat-based cultures in a melting pot society like the United States. Her Salvadorian/Mexican roots with a childhood spent mostly in East Los Angeles and then a teenager moving to the Eastern Shore in Virginia has given Garcia a jolting view of the breadth of differences in the US and her struggle to work out where she lies in the great scheme of things (“YOU CAN BE BOTH” she argues about her Latinx roots and her US Nationality). Garcia is a refreshingly unique and eloquent artist with influences stretching from traditional Ranchero music to Jack White, Neil Young and Kimbra - crafting a sound that’s both ambitious and necessarily DIY which has already found her fans from The Sunday Times (UK) to the New York Times and NPR.
