Renowned for "Al Otro Lado Del Rio," his Academy Award-winning song featured in THE MOTORCYCLE DIARIES, Uruguayan singer-songwriter Jorge Drexler presents a compelling set of thoughtful Latin pop with 12 SEGUNDOS DE OSCURIDAD. Staying largely within an acoustic palette, Drexler shines on the dreamy title track and a spare cover of Radiohead's "High and Dry" (the album's only English-language number), songs that showcase the performer's gentle, amiable vocals and delicate guitar playing.
