Paúl Marrón, Manuel Castañeda & Rafael Olivarría are Childs. Inspired by anime aesthetics, icelandic elfin pop, sounds from the shoegaze era in the early nineties and indie rock, this project (originated in 2001 in Ensenada, Mexico) have developed a strong cult following in their country. Their music stops short of being more than dream passages in a world full of pop opportunities, transcending simple trends of indie electronic music.
With live instrumentation and intense performances in a live setting, they are one of the young electronic acts that live up to the task of transforming the precepts of Mexican electronic and rock music. Their music is a soft mélange of digital, analog and acoustic sounds that they describe as ‘future lullabies’.
