Perhaps most known for his lucha libre guise as Mexicans with Guns, San Antonio's Ernest Gonzales wears many masks. Gonzales doesn't buckle under the weight of multiple personae. Rather, he draws inspiration from his multifaceted background, producing a diverse swath of sounds covering various states of introspection. 'Natural Traits' is an LP that blends Gonzales' gift for melodic songwriting with his understanding of electronic craftsmanship. Composed of vivid rhythms, emotive melodies and aerial harmonies, the album blurs the lines between analogue and digital worlds. Gonzales juxtaposes live instrumentation with classic electronic tropes to produce tracks that float, flit, bump, and pulse with grace and subdued movement.
