Record CollectorFeb 24, 2025Manages to bridge the gap between electronic experimentation and unabashed pop. [Mar 2025, p.103]
-
Jan 23, 2025DÍA is the work of an artist who isn't looking back. With these cathartic, expansive, resilient songs, Ela Minus is just becoming more expressive -- or as she puts it, "I'll keep writing melodies to sing."
-
Jan 23, 2025Minus’ new album succeeds with its M.O. In terms of artistry, it’s similar to the work of Kelly Lee Owens, blending accessible pop tendencies with techno infused experimental flair. Yet, and perhaps more importantly, Minus has said exactly what she wanted to say, in the exactly the way she wanted to say it on DÍA.

MojoJan 23, 2025Caribou meets late-period Madonna, perhaps, but given DIA's depth of melody and nuance, Minus might be the Phoebe Bridgers of Techno-pop. [Feb 2025, p.82]
-
Jan 28, 2025An album that pushes Minus’ musical vision outward while burrowing deeper inward lyrically.

Jan 23, 2025The 10 tracks that make up DÍA‘s streamlined 33 minutes and 47 seconds channel that volatile orientation honestly, not forcing itself into a deliberate linear sensibility.
-
Jan 23, 2025Minus openly captures the messy beauty of growth in real time in DÍA. And while she sometimes structures these songs a tad oblique, having rewritten some for three years straight, Minus understands that it's better to ease, rather than scrutinize, every aspect of the songwriting process. But never, ever should it be an afterthought.
