"Nubes" y "Lamento" are the first two advance songs taken from “Claros Del Bosque”, the new album by Ibon Errazkin to be released on 29 November 2024
There are artists who focus their career on satisfying the musical whims of the general public. Names that fill news headlines, festival headlines, and radio playlists. There are other artists who are included in the fine print, but who approach their musical creation as a journey, an investigation, a lifelong quest, an experience. These artists understand music as an art and transmit it as such. They have the ability to change the path of pop history, to write great hits that will only be recognized in time, to step outside of the bounds of stereotypes that try to turn today’s audio-art into big entertainment.
Ibon Errazkin is the largest print of these fine print names. Because of AVENTURAS DE KIRLIAN, LE MANS, SINGLE, his solo albums, and his many collaborations, or producing Carlos Berlanga (“Impermeable”), Ana D (“Satélite 99”) and NOSOTRÄSH (“Popemas”). Above all else because of the way he makes art to the beat of the music, the way he puts together every release. From the cover art by Javier Aramburu (we are so lucky to keep getting more of them to enjoy!), to the music videos.
That’s why we are celebrating the arrival of a new album with this advance single that includes two songs from the upcoming new release. “Nubes” and “Lamento” confirm everything we have just said: songs that meander between costumbrism and inspiration, minimalism and classicism, Mediterranean and lyric, between Nino Rota and Erik Satie. These songs caress and excite us using the purest songwriting design: textures, melodies, harmonies, mixed and managed with the magic of a genius who doesn’t need to lean on any crutches.
That said, the music video that goes with this release, directed by Antonio Morales, filmed by Dani Lisón and edited by Dani Aránega is a delicacy, and the first of a series of music videos filmed in Tangier and inspired by the work of the Malaysian director Tsai Ming-liang. It’s a “walking meditation” in which we can see Ibon in various places in Tangier, showing us that silences can say so much, and that from an expressive point of view, less is more.
Soon we will have a new full-length from one of those unique and inimitable names in the history of Spanish pop music. The album was recorded by Ibon, mixed with the help of Lorenzo Matellán and mastered by Xavier Alarcón.
