ROCCO bring us XXI century
rock-folk
Soon you are well informed about the spanish indie scene, you've
heard or read about ROCCO, a quartet from Dénia
(Alicante) that focuses on sounds near-folk rock that occurs in
the mountain states of the United States and Canada and its obtained
a more excellent reviews with his first recording.
You may even be one of the privileged owners of one of the few
copies of the first self publishing limited edition of the CD.
These early copies have had a presence at key points in the independent
scene as prestigious as the "39 Sonidos" at Onda Uno,
"Toxicosmos" at UPV Radio, "La Isla de Encanta"
at Radio Circulo, "Delicatessen" at iCat FM, Scanner
FM, "Islas de Robinson" at Radio 3 or even a top number
1 in the Mondo Sonoro Valencia Magazine.
In Flor y Nata Records could not let an album like this to remain
a delicacy only for a small elite of electeds. The world had to
know (and for that we have with you) and here are our issue with
respect to 100% content such as ROCCO wanted to reach its audience
from the first time.
Rarely a debut album has been so lauded
ROCCO arise in Dénia (Alicante) in the summer of 2009,
initially to participate in the Festival Flexi Verbal Dénia,
although the experience was so positive that a few months already
had a repertoire of his own songs and a good list concert. This
is how two components from Astronaut: Eduardo Guzman (guitar
and vocals) and Rafa Peiró (bass), plus
two from Gomoso: Javi Martínez (guitar
and vocals) and Jaime Puig (drums) have shaped
one of the groups more projection of the current indie scene.
Folk + pop + rock + soft voices = crist
& fresh songs
His music blends nicely with folk and pop rock elements and results
in a crisp, cool songs. A soft voices accompanied by a manicured
instrumentation flow through some songs sung in English, and influenced,
as discussed by CSN & Y, Simon & Garfunkel, Elliott Smith,
Wilco, Calexico, Fleet Foxes, Deerhunter & Sufjan Stevens
and others.
The album, which is called as the band is a breath of fresh air,
an album to listen to (if possible) outdoors, feeling the wind
in your face driving a convertible or on a sun lounger on the
terrace, evoking, as the song, snowy mountains or a endless wheat
fields.
There are twelve songs recorded in Atomic studies in Denia produced
by Rocco and Mark Dasousa who helped the band in keyboards, Andrea
De Pascual (vocals) and Javi Torres (viola), of which it is difficult
to highlight any ... "The Wind (that blows here)," "On
my belly", "Elliott", "Every light here,"
"Sooner or later," all have something that makes them
special.
