    • 2015 September 22, “El pálpito sugerido”, in El País[1]:
      Lástima que estos elixires de pop intimista, campestre y deleitoso, tan propicio para ulular o sugerir susurros, siga una década después figurando entre los secretos desdichadamente guardados para unos pocos chicos listos: la entrada de anoche en El Sol fue bien modesta, por mucho que Vetiver parezca una opción inmejorable para abrir un ciclo denominado American Autumn (Otoño Americano).
      It’s a shame that these elixirs of intimate, rural and delightful pop which are so conducive to ululating or suggesting whispers, remain a decade later among those secrets unfortunately kept for a few smart kids: last night's entry in The Sun was very modest, as much as Vetiver seems like an unbeatable option to open a cycle called American Autumn.
