Next March 6th we’ll release an album about Spain and beyond. A parvenu record. A half-truth stumped untill saciety
Alado’s new album ‘Pacífico’
With this fourth album, the band from Igualada have achieved to capture an obscene snapshot, poetical if you prefer, of the act in which remiss pure violence is silenced and democratized. Here come the keys of someone else’s house and full moral immunity... Delusions on an intangible maths’ edge, in just about half an hour, over twelve songs in which delirious excesses take place although NOTHING REALLY HAPPENS
Both for the them particular appropiationism as for the personal aesthetics submission of the IDEA, ‘Pacífico’ is an overwhelming step forward. Recorded with Santi García in four days, live and analog, it’s execution could be baffling. The transition that ‘Palimpsesto’ (Repetidor 2009) initiated, keeps revealing illuminating signs...
‘Pacífico’ will be released on 180gr’s LP, CD and MP3. Soon a first song will be available, a video for the first single as well and, of course, some more show dates to follow
Today Sunday 11th of December at 21h on Canal 33, Sputnik Presents:

Teaser...
Largo del Fotomatón!
2 Repetidor bands premiering them both recent debut albums: Dos Gajos and Sonio. Unique, beautiful chance to live the momentum...
Tickets already available!
Fotomatón Bar: Plaza Conde de Toreno 2, Metro Plaza España / Noviciado
The vehicle which dos gajos drive is an unlikely blend between the freight train which used to go through Bakersfield and Nashville, and the Opel which Syd Barrett used to drive. From the former they take the formula, that is, the stubbornness of that constant rhythm, the guitar pizzicato…from the latter they take the residual drone of a loose screw. Marc Ribot, Elizabeth Cotten, Beat Hapenning… and also some mambo, calypso and even Los Tres Sudamericanos. Maracas play along with the vehicle’s engine and induce the crew members into drone thinking
Just as if they were voices-off, Juan Carlos Fernández (Penélope Trip) and Esperanza Collado (David Loss, Tumulto Dorado, Somadrone, Las Hermanas Diego) sing engrossed lyrics in a circular fashion. They never describe any images or any landscape and they never narrate a story as such; this is rather a transcription of the murmur from a persistent intimate monologue which is full of lucubrations and uncertainties. As in an opening speech from a Cuban Son theme or the chorus in a song for children, words repeat themselves and phrases reappear in a slightly different manner. Doubts come alive but they are never solved, as if they were left stranded inside insurmountable mental cavities. Special mention to the way dos gajos use JC´s harsh voice and Esperanza´s bright and precise vocals. They establish a game which, against any convention, doesn´t actually suggest a conversation between two people. This is rather like only one thinking entity which goes adrift and tries to find its way again and again, trying to manage itself within the existing surrounding nonsense which seems to fit its purpose. The singers in dos gajos are just points of view
Using just basic sound tools and a spontaneous natural recording technique which is quite intriguing (this is producer Rafael Martínez del Pozo´s trademark), their first release goes through the neurosis and weariness of adulthood using humour and a jumpy and naive rattling. Dos Gajos is just a formula which resembles only itself; it is a vehicle which has been built to last
Javier Aquilué (Kiev Cuando Nieva, Tresestrellas)
Once turned down the volume, the songs still remain in your head like endless loops. Juan Carlos creates an unconscious limbo where Esperanza joins him out of femininity – associated – interpretations. There is a distance that she pulls on the message she’s sending out…
Kantia Diego (Las Hermanas Diego)
Yes indeed;
Why Do They Never Play Les Savy Fav On The Radio?
Mí no entender...

¿Will you miss this?
Parmesano is one the most fresh things that have happened in Barcelona on the last few months: Complex songs but dancing and played with such fury and amazizng skill
A must and, yes indeed, a first album coming on it’s way...
Whatch it!
March 1st we’ll release our next reference, the hand-made limited edition of Duot’s self titled first album wich you can already listen to in this very site!
Albert Cirera and Ramón Prats succeed by getting the sharpest, spontanious and more interesting moments of nowadays, let’s say, post-free jazz panorama... Touched with bastard’s son’s insight, they share the clasical aproach and way of expresion of Mats Gustafsson or Fred Fritz but more precisely to, of course, destroy it
Forms with no layers, suspending on by an intuition game through which Cirera and Prats get to peep at such intimate backup. Using a textures’ deconstruction that may remind of Jim Black’s ‘Alasnoaxis’ or Chicago Underground’s incidental minimalism, them work means closing the eyes looking for a vanishing point, just because salvation stands by silence
Inot Eratsis has been nominated to the Enderrock Awards for his amazing album 'Les Hores'!!!

If it’s true that ‘activity’ mediates between ‘subject’ and real world… Our artists seem to know it well:
Next referente: ‘Lives’, by The NEUROTIC KITES, is being masterized right now by Frank Rudow and it will go out in stores about October this year… We can already tell you that it is a POP album, in fact a beautiful one…
DÚO COBRA are ready to release a B Sides disc from them debut album ‘Déjate Morder’, to be out on streets this Autumn as well, hopefully November. Besides, Álvaro and Álvarez continue working on a future Single/Ep for 2011…
SONIO have them own record already mixed and they’re just waiting to be masterised by Frank next September. Produced by Adam Diamantides, it will be called ‘De no estar’ and will be published next year as well…
IGA MEMENTO will be finishing his first recordings before the end of this year… An intimate work sung in Catalan… The best we’ve heart in this languaje since ‘Les cançons tel•lúriques’ by Roger Mas…
CASADELAVA will get into Lazy Studios to record with Toni Sistaré, starting next September, live sessions that will become them debut album for next year…
URBAN TACTUS is currently working on what will be his first album. No dates for the recording sessions yet, what’s for sure is that Frank Rudow will produce it.
At the same time, SUMA (Frank Rudow & Laura Clark) are setting up material for them second LP in 2011…
And finally ALADO SINCERA, who after having toured for almost a year with ‘Palimpsesto’, will start rehearsing in September for them next album. We’ll see them on stage again early 2011, just about when they’ll start a small tour to present a 7’’ single entitled ‘2 Dolores’ with two new songs and the release of a documentary called ‘Primeros dientes’ about the making of ‘Palimpsesto’s produced by Dostopos…
Non stop boys.
Repetidor will programe a full week into the II Independent Labels Festival at Sala Costello, Madrid.

Hi there! We’re going to be at Primavera Sound 2010 in both ways. On one hand the record stand with all our releases available and on the other hand Alado Sincera’s show on Thursday 27th at Adidas Originals Stage, 18:00h.
See you there!
Pianist and composer mostly influenced by improvisation and experimental music, he is currently working in his debut album but we can listen to his latest demo already.
¡Download it free from www.urbantactus.com!
His music reflects a wide range of influences. Urban Tactus subtly explores minimalism or jazz but looking for the construction of simple pieces for piano that can suggest a sort of ambiental landscape, as if they were part of a soundtrack. Beneath the sound we could see signs of E.S.T, Flim or Yann Tiersen for instance.
Knowing about their existence has been a well kept secret for the outside world.
The union from the two oposite personalities such as Alvaro and Javi, but with the common gift of talking about what makes them different from the rest.
Two cobras in your rest room.
Alado Sincera are contenders to 'Apuesta MTV 2009'
If you wish to contribute with your vote and, at the same time, give your support to other indie artists such as Alondra Bentley, Extraperlo, Le Pianc, Linda Mirada, Pal, etc. click here.
Our first release is ‘Palimpsesto’, from Alado Sincera.
It's out on stores already in LP (+ bonus), CD and MP3.
The record has been produced by Frank Rudow, recorded by Paco Loco and with artwork by the Basque artist Javier Mújica
This is Alado Sincera's third and best album. Fiery, political, razor sharp, abstract…
Ghandi Rules OK’s ‘EP 1’ is out!
You can have a full listen of it here!
Oriol Solé (Iga Memento, Alado Sincera) and Toni Sistaré (Inot Eratsis) both solemnly sweared with them own blood the quest of basics, by calling upon febrile horses whose sleep has been desecrated. Now running with no direction in the dark, through fuzz rock labyrinthine galleries, aproaching big nowhere, while an absurd, sharp yet intelligible and infectious divertimento with 8 songs in just 15 minutes starts showing up
A unique and brilliant voice, without question appart from the independent catalan scene
Enjoy!
Dúo Cobra have been selected by Touch Sensitive to belong to the artists directory that the scottish agency has created for its future collaboration and events projects between both foreign and local artists from the United Kingdom
The spanih selection is just stunning: Betunizer, Chiquita y Chatarra, Dúo Cobra, Elle Belga, Pauline en la Playa, Za!, etc…
Check it out.
Dos Gajos’s first album is out now!
New project, after years of silence, from Juan Carlos Fernández (Penélope Trip ex guitar player) with experimental filmmaker Esperanza Collado (Las Hermanas Diego, Somadrone, Tumulto Dorado)
You can listen to the full album already here! This beautiful yet strange act that has been produced by Rafa M. del Pozo (La JR, AA Tigre)
Paraphrasing Javier Aquilué (Kiev Cuando Nieva), it’d be an unlikely blend between the stubbornness of the constant rhythm from the train which used to go through Bakersfield and Nashville and the residual drone of a loose screw from the Opel which Syd Barrett used to drive
Mesmerizing pendulums maracas and guitar’s pizzicato rhythms off. Mambo, calipso, Marc Ribot, Elizabeth Cotten, Beat Hapenning, Jad fair. Voices-off singing engrossed lyrics in a circular fashion, going through the neurosis and weariness of adulthood using humour and a jumpy and naive rattling
If Kantia Diego herself mentioned an unconscious limbo where Esperanza joins Juan Carlos out of femininity – associated – interpretations... Here comes a stem on a moorland
I always considered JC the most talented musician among the generation that formed bands around Gijón in the early 90s. Former guitarist of Penélope Trip, since the band dissolved, JC had been playing music, mostly privately. On the night of his arrival, JC played some of his songs in the kitchen. To my surprise, they had lyrics
The collaboration of Esperanza Collado in the album was, at first, very casual. Even though she had been more focused on experimental film, Esperanza had also played music sporadically in the past with different formations (David Loss, Tumulto Dorado, Somadrone, Las Hermanas Diego), she ended up being so involved that a band was naturally formed. During the recording, we specially listened to Alan Vega's first album, Cecil Barfield's ‘South Georgia Blues’, and Elisabeth Cotten's ‘When I'm Gone’
Rafael M. del Pozo (AA Tigre, La JR)
Debut album by Sonioi s out on stores! Alado Sincera’s singer Daniel Ardura’s side project with Carles Viarnès (Urban Tactus) and Josep Martí (Cataplàusia)
You can listen to the full album here at the site!
‘De no estar’ is an unsusual album. In such a serene act builed up to undress the time. Involving a return to the most intimate lyrics of Ardura but to be developed this time among diferent fields instead: Closer to David Grub’s experimental pop or Dominique A’s contemporary songs rather than, at a glance, anything else...
Terse memories, flashes getting amplified, journey notebooks on song form, each one of them as a piece for a single moment and every moment as free scrap, battle of unfocused witnesses
Please note the LP edition will contain an extra track…
Duot have been playing every thursday for the last half year at Robadors 23’ bar in Barcelona.
Next September they’ll continue performing at the place where every night becomes a post? free jazz session with prime line guests as Marc Egea, Agustí Fernández, Alessandra Patrucco, Dani Pérez or Pablo Rega among others...
Next Thursday 16th of June there will be the last session before the summer break and so it’ll be a special one..
Can’i miss it... Free entrance and more, free way out! Party

It was filmed during the 3 recording days with both Frank Rudow and Paco Loco on the recording desk at El Puerto De Santa María, Cádiz.
This item is called ‘Primeros Dientes’ and it’s a beauty…
Alado Sincera will release a 7’’ called ‘2 Dolores’. It will contain two unreleased songs: 'La Herida Preferida' and 'Dolores'
Alado will be touring next April and this celebration will also come by with the release of a beautiful documentary produced by Dostopos about the album making off.

The debut album by The Neurotic Kites (Joseph Hilferty, San Franciso, USA) which will be entitled ‘Lives’.
Hilferty is able to summarize contemporary partners’ work like The Jayhawks, Montgolfier Brothers or John Vanderslice trough his very own sensitive prisms, achieving beauty by providing each song with such golden frailty.
Check out the mysterious video that Dostopos have done for the first single 'Over!

Our first musical reference, 'Palimpsesto', is a turning point for both the band, their followers and the media. All this thanks to the unanimous praise that their daring effort has received. Below is a compilation of the best reviews of 'Palimpsesto':
De espaldas a los cánones del rock. No parece tan difícil, pero lo es, y eso redobla la valía de este grupo Barcelonés. Líneas inusuales de voz, instrumentación expresiva y muchas escuchas por delante
| Pablo Gil, El Mundo Metrópolis | NOVIEMBRE 2009
Discurso denso, con crispados juegos instrumentales, donde prima el riesgo sobre la melodía y la lluvia (ácida) contra el contexto en el que (de) crecemos
| Beatríz G. Aranda, El País EP3 | NOVIEMBRE 2009
Enormes ideas. Dispersión sonora que hace luminosas unas canciones que rezuman ironía, aromas naïf y una inocencia ciertamente muy distorsionada y gratificante
| Esteban Linés, La Vanguardia | NOVIEMBRE 2009
El rastro en llamas. ‘Palimpsesto’ es un formidable trampolín a la abstracción, el segundo nacimiento desde el fuego de una banda que, sin dejar de ser quien era, ahora es otra
| Alberto Fernández, Go Mag | OCTUBRE 2009
Puede que con ‘palimpsesto’, y sin quererlo, Alado Sincera hayan echado a andar la nueva canción protesta
| Estela Cebrián, H Mag | OCTUBRE 2009
No es un disco al que uno caiga rendido a la primera escucha, sino que plantea un romance más a largo plazo. La victoria es suya
| Marc López, Rockzone | OCTUBRE 2009
Dicen que el tercer disco es fundamental en la carrera de cualquier artista. Los Barceloneses Alado Sincera dicen sí a esta teoría
| Dimas Rodríguez, Butxaca | OCTUBRE 2009
El cuarteto catalán renace con un disco más intenso y directo. El nuevo repertorio de los catalanes palpita, chirría y condensa mensajes a modo de letanía
| Jordi Nopca, Mondosonoro | OCTUBRE 2009
Grupo estridente y disonante que, electrificando sus instrumentos a tope, interpretó una canción de titulo sugerente y filosófico: ‘La televisión va por dentro’. Ensombrecer deliberadamente el mensaje a base de estridencias, puede que en eso consista, a veces, la televisión
| Sergi Pàmies, La Vanguardia | OCTUBRE 2009
Más psicodélia, menos melodías cantables. Tercer álbum de estos barceloneses que apuestan por cambiar de rumbo pero no olvidan la esencia guitarrera que les vio nacer. Completo
| Natalia Brovedani, Lamono | SEPTIEMBRE 2009
Our second release is out now in stores, it's the first album by Inot Eratsis entitled 'Les hores'.
A very special record that lies somewhere between Hood and Matt Elliot... Sung in Catalan, Spanish and English...
You can watch 'Ara ja està''s video made by Dostopos, listen to the full album at our website or buy it at any shop!
