Savath & Savalas' Scott Herren, the same man behind electronica/hip-hop mishmash Prefuse 73, continues to pay homage to his Latin roots with his fourth album under the moniker. Herren is armed with loads of guitars and a variety of other stringed instruments, percussion and multiple layers of dreamy vocals, forming the basis for an incredibly organic album. At its best, "Golden Pollen" is graceful, intricately planned and divinely produced. "Ya Verdad" eminates emotion while remaining relaxed, while the subtle rhythm and arrangements on "Vidas Animades" and the glitchy heartbeat of "Croncreto" keep things fresh and upbeat. On occasion though, the set can be downright boring. The melody and vocal lines begin to blend with one another during the course of 16 tracks and the glacial pace may find impatient listeners running for Herren's livelier works. —Katie Hasty
