DE UN LUGAR EXTRAÑO, An EP of concentrated
pop sound
For this "DE UN LUGAR EXTRAÑO"

by Jaime Summers (guitar) and Alex Olmedo
(La Naranja China) as a producer in the studio. The result is
a cross between pop tradition of the 80 (Antonio Vega), the most
indie of the late 90's and the latest trends (Love of Lesbian,
The New Raemon). The EP, issued by Flor y Nata Records, the oldest
of the spanish independent labels (1981 - 2011), can kook small,
in fact it is an EP of 5 tracks (6 in digital) pop fact that heart
and naturally distilled lyrics Carlos, who sees life as "...
up in the morning, take the guitar and start writing songs that
reach people".
"UN RIFLE EN EL CORAZÓN"
The song chosen as the first hit single with the collaboration
of Lucia Garcia on vocals giving the song an air reminiscent of
the rhythmic songs of Le Mans and convoluted with a letter to
the illustrious the early 80's. The 100% pure essence of pop.
This song has a video clip that does not lack any visuals of pop
iconography, you could see the video without sound and you would
know that this is a pop song. Filmed on purpose in a single scene,
no cuts, in an exercise far more meritorious conduct which may
seem at first glance.
You're waiting for things to happen ... and it happen!
"MAGDALENA" is the story
of someone who dreams of returning home with the money he earned
by working hard and enjoying a new status. A key point in almost
open to interpretation that nevertheless has a memorable chorus
and as the song says "I'm staying with Magdalena. "
As a bonus track "LA REVOLTOSA",
which is only in the online edition of the disc. Although sure
that eventually ends in a "Greatest Hits" ... a matter
of time. A perfect collection of pop songs, of which you are in
the head, which have "something" you do not know it
but do you like, have that "something " that only have
artists / groups that operate outside the intricacies of the industry
and create when given the need for things with your own style.
And is that "... Above all are the songs above interpretation,
above the technical implementation of the executor, above the
musical envelope, over the success and failure in the end, the
songs are only ... "
