Bratty at the Roxy: Mexican bedroom pop artist Bratty released new album TRES in November, and her people describe it as, “an LP where she opens up about all that’s weighing on her heart: her anxieties and insecurities and deepest infatuations, the singular pain of feeling too much, and the strange disconnect of dealing with seasonal depression in the summertime.” It’ll be fascinating to see her lay all of that pain put on the Roxy stage.

“In an evolution of the unguarded storytelling that’s made her one of the most compelling young artists to emerge in recent years, the 23-year-old Mexico native sets that introspection to a bright and dreamy form of indie-pop/surf-rock, lit up in her sweetly disarming vocal work and effervescent melodies,” they say. “The latest triumph in a breakout year that’s included making her U.S. debut with a much-celebrated set at Coachella, TRESultimately finds an unlikely power in absolute sensitivity.”

“Named for her lucky number, BRATTY’s third full-length expands on the graceful musicality she first began honing by self-recording songs in her bedroom at age 16,” they add. “In bringing the 12-song album to life, the self-taught multi-instrumentalist worked with producer Julián Bernal (a Latin Grammy Award winner known for his work with artists like Cuco and Elsa y Elmar), shaping a more elaborate sound while embracing a certain unbridled freedom in the creative process.”

“Julián really helped me to challenge myself with my vocals and guitar-playing, but at the same time the main focus of the whole album was to have fun and be true to myself,” said BRATTY. “With my last record, I overthought everything: what I was going to write about, how to express it in a way that people could relate to and identify with. This time I just wanted to get back to doing what felt right, like I did when I first started this project.”

Paula Prieto also performs.

Bratty at the Roxy: The event takes place at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, February 14 at the Roxy.
