An airy, effervescent ’90s nostalgia shows on “Ivory Hands,” a delight of a single from Lento Rodríguez. Led by Peruvian composer Gustavo Rizo-Patron, the project’s debut album, New New Wave, impress in its stylistic journeys — spanning from new-wave and shoegaze to jazz and dream-pop. “Ivory Hands” is among its highlights, melding illuminated guitars, spirited vocals, and brisk rhythmic charms — hinting at noted inspirations like Smashing Pumpkins, Air, and Blondie.
