Lucrecia Dalt – A Danger To Ourselves

A Danger to Ourselves is the seventh studio album by Colombian experimental musician Lucrecia Dalt, released on 5 September 2025 via RVNG Intl. Co-produced with David Sylvian, the album finds Dalt stepping away from her more character-driven and surreal works, instead offering her most emotionally vulnerable record to date. It was conceived during a pivotal period in her life: time spent on tour for her previous album ¡Ay!, encounters with love, and a decision to dissolve fictional alter-egos. The result is a set of richly textured songs where her voice—shifting fluidly between English and Spanish—sits amid percussion, acoustic instrumentation, and electronic abstraction, creating an immersive sonic field that balances tenderness, menace, and dreamlike intensity.

Throughout the record, Dalt collaborates with notable guests including Juana Molina and Camille Mandoki, while long-time collaborator Alex Lázaro provides a percussive backbone that oscillates between subtle restraint and dramatic urgency. From the cinematic opening “Cosa Rara” to the bittersweet echoes of tracks like “No Death No Danger” and “Mala Sangre,” the album explores the complexity of love, self-exposure, desire, and inner peril. It bridges avant-pop and experimental electronica without losing its emotional core, remarkable for how intimate it feels even in its most dissonant passages. Critics have praised it as a record that demands both attention and surrender—one that lingers in the mind long after its closing notes.

Reviews

“It’s Dalt at her most exposed, and somehow, her most inscrutable.” – The Skinny

“On A Danger to Ourselves she turns the camera on herself and the lens becomes a mirror, revealing an artist even less inhibited than before.” – Pitchfork

“Lucrecia Dalt might not think about hit-making, but through her exploration of love and transcendence, she eventually created something strange and eerie, yet surprisingly close to a pop album — with weirdly catchy melodies that tempt you to either dance or hide under the bed — the very thing music critics with their radars on may be looking for.” – Clash Music

“It’s the constant wavering that keeps the listener hooked to the record’s aural traverse.” – Far Out Magazine
