While they nod toward vintage banda and ranchera throughout Pensando En Ti, this ambitious 10-piece ensemble has also developed a lush-but-rustic sound that's defiantly unique. Blending gorgeous brass arrangements with guitars coated in grit, pairing elegant woodwinds with booming tubas, Cuarto de Milla finds a distinctive midpoint between the forceful and the fanciful. Romantic ballads like "Como un Perro" unfurl with an exquisite delicacy before finally hitting their roaring climaxes, and corridos like "El Moro" have a thrillingly kinetic momentum that's only heightened by the subtle musicianship.
