Madres (album)

Madres is the debut album by Peruvian producer Sofia Kourtesis, released on 27 October 2023 through Ninja Tune.

It was preceded by the singles "Estación Esperanza" featuring Manu Chao, "Madres" and "Si Te Portas Bonito".

[7] NME's Aneesa Ahmed called it a "true love letter to the varied, invigorating sounds that have shaped Kourtesis", one that "cements her position as a bold and crafty producer of house-infused dancefloor heaters".

[2] Paul Simpson of AllMusic commented that "compared to her earlier EPs, Madres feels more refined and less quirky and glitchy" and it "deals with serious subject matter, but ultimately it's an abundantly thankful, joyous, and celebratory record".

[4] MusicOMH's Ben Devlin stated that Kourtesis is "lucky" that her "beats have the character to fill an LP while mostly keeping to a modest, shimmying intensity", which he felt "portends a warm reception in the club scene".
