Ibon Errazkin

IBON ERRAZKIN "El Río/Olas" Single Digital

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 new advance single. “La Vía Láctea” confirms all that has been 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. The second 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.
