Band À Part

They are already old friends of our New Adventures in Pop collection, but we couldn’t resist the temptation to have them among us again. After that “No sé por que” that disappeared from the stores at the speed of light and which brought them so much recognition both in Spain and abroad, we now have “Una persona normal con gafas de metal”, the new single that enriches our special collection of little colored limited-edition vinyls. It has four marvelous songs, two of which are new and the last two of which are already known, although here in a different version, by the addicts of their demos. The title track is one of those house specialty luminous and summery songs, with echoes of the infinite strength of FITNESS FOREVER, but with a tremendously danceable chorus. “Blankets” is delicious, with marvelous arrangements that remind us of SAMBASSADEUR, CLUB 8 and CAMERA OBSCURA, mixing hope and melancholy. “La merienda” is a song that Javi and Coral wrote for Agustín Fuentes’ (the director of the Contempopránea Festival) radio program, and it’s a hyperdanceable hit, full of energy and vitality and that we could compare to the early songs by LA CASA AZUL. “Souvenir de L’avenir” recovers that summery breath, but this time with a loungier grounding and a delicate adhesion to bossanova. Four songs like four different suns. This is definitely a new gem that it is becoming a part of the BAND Á PART collection and that makes us even more excited than we were before for new songs from this duo, which promise big things. And we can now announce that these songs will arrive soon, six to be exact, in a 10” color vinyl format, again, with Elefant. Don’t miss their next shows in the Contempopránea and the Indietracks festivals, because there are already so many of us excitedly following this group. ~ from Elefant Records Read more on Last.fm.
