ER-1082 CARLOS BERLANGA \"Impermeable\" LP [9-10-2026]

CARLOS BERLANGA: 25 Anniversary Reissue

Twenty-five years after its original release, one of the most relevant sophisticated pop albums in Spanish is spinning on the turntable once again. \"Impermeable\" (2001), the fourth and final studio album released by Carlos Berlanga, is being reissued in an exclusive clear vinyl edition. This special release by Elefant Records not only rescues a fundamental album that defined the turn of the century, but also serves as the definitive tribute to an unique creator, whose sensibility remains the landmark on independent music in our country.

And the thing is, to talk about Carlos Berlanga is to talk about the DNA of modern pop in Spain. He was a key piece of fundamental bands such as KAKA DE LUXE, ALASKA Y LOS PEGAMOIDES, and ALASKA Y DINARAMA. But Berlanga didn\'t just provide the soundtrack to the Movida madrileña; he elevated the pop song genre to the category of haute couture. He was capable of crafting timeless generational anthems by combining infallible melodies with lyrics charged with fine irony, urban melancholy, and sharp lucidity. He understood music as a global art form. His love for French pop, bossa nova, synthpop, and melodic song endowed his work with a cosmopolitan sophistication unique for its time. And beyond the sheet music, his facet as a painter and illustrator permeated his entire universe, making it clear that his talent spanned any artistic field.

This clear vinyl reissue is a collector\'s item, but also the perfect opportunity to rediscover why, a quarter of a century later, the shadow of Carlos Berlanga remains the most elegant and inspiring in our music.

Original promotional text:
We’re proud to introduce you to one of the most recognized and talented Spanish songwriters: Carlos Berlanga. This is his fourth solo album (the first one he releases in Elefant) but he’s been making music since the late seventies.

In Spain he’s a very famous name as he took part in some very commercially succesful bands in the eighties. But as these bands only got popular in Spain and Southamerica, we should start from the very beginning: Carlos is the son of Luis García Berlanga, one of the most famous and popular Spanish filmakers of all ages, author of classic films like “The Executioner”, “Welcome Mr. Marshall!” or “Calabuch”, just to mention some of his works. So, Carlos was always surrounded by artists and famous people since he was a child. He started being a painter and designer, and he still alternates this with music. He made the poster for Almodovar’s movie “Matador”, which by the way featured a very young Antonio Banderas.

In the late seventies he was part of what everyone agrees to call the first Spanish punk band, KAKA DE LUXE. Though this band had a very short life, most of its members would become famous years later by being in much more popular bands. Some of these names were Alaska and Nacho Canut, who formed ALASKA Y LOS PEGAMOIDES with Carlos. A new wave band who had a tremendous success in Spain with their first and only album, “Grandes Éxitos” (1982). Alaska was the lead singer, but Carlos sung some songs apart from composing most of them. The band split shortly after, but shortly afterwards Carlos, Alaska and Nacho formed ALASKA Y DINARAMA, a band which released four albums during the eighties and got an even bigger success: they were one of the best-selling pop bands in Spain for a long time, till the group split in 1989. Then Alaska and Nacho formed FANGORIA (their current band), and Carlosstarted a solo career.

During the nineties Carlos released only three albums, each one in a different record company. None of them were specially succesful, despite he proved he was capable of writing perfect timeless pop songs, mostly based in electronic techno beats but with a pop heart influenced by Brazilian bossa nova movement, French pop and classic pop in general. The third album, “Vía Satélite Alrededor de Carlos Berlanga” (1997) featured the guest backing vocals of Jone and Teresa (the two girls in LE MANS) in most of the songs.

And now here is his comeback: a new album formed by eight new originals, probably his best so far, plus two cover versions: “A Vannes” by Françoise Hardy (with lyrics in Spanish and renamed “A Cannes”) and the classic bossa nova anthem “Wave” by Antonio Carlos Jobim, singing the original lyrics in English. But no doubt the main thing in this album are the originals: superbly constructed and rendered pop songs, full of perfect, catchy melodies and delicate arrangements.

The words in Spanish are very important in the whole thing, as Carlos(always helped in this task by his old mate Nacho Canut) has always excelled at writing excellent song lyrics in which humour and drama, elegance and decadence always go hand in hand. In this sense, Carlos could be placed in the same group as other masters in the art of injecting intelligence in something as supposedly inane as a simple pop song: PET SHOP BOYS or MOMUS could be perfect travel mates in this sense.

Most of the lyrics in the album deal with the suffering of loving and not being loved, in a hyper real way, but at the same time with a good deal of humour to avoid verging on tragedy. “Estrellas Y Planetas” and “Por Desgracia No” are two very good examples. They combine these bittersweet lyrics with very dancey beats. “Estados” is more languid and disenchanted, both in music and words.

“Vacaciones” is by far the most optimistic track, and at the same time the one with the biggest commercial potential due to its upbeat disco background; but it will hardly turn into a radio hit as its explicit lyrics can be too much for some Spanish Djs; the chorus goes like: “Amor de látex, caucho y goma / Vacaciones en Sodoma / ¿Qué prefieres mantequilla o Tulipán? / Amor de risa, amor de broma / Sexo muerto, sexo en coma / Gaseosa, soda, popper o champán” (Latex love, rubber love / Holidays in Sodom / Do you prefer butter or margarine? / Love as a laugh, love as a joke / Dead sex, sex in a comma / Fizz, soda, popper or champagne?).

The album has been produced by Ibon Errazkin, ex guitarist and main composer of LE MANS, which has also released his first solo album this year. This is not Ibon’s first production work, as he also produced ANA D’s first album, “Satélite 99”. He had also previously worked with Carlos, producing some tracks in “La Cajera” CD-Single, a song from Carlos’ third album, the brilliant “Vía Satélite Alrededor De Carlos Berlanga” (1997).

The album features a sound very different sound to previous Carlos Berlanga albums, which were based on electronics in a bigger deal than this one, mainly acoustic. Ibon’s guitar and bass, Antonio Galvañ (who makes records as PARADE) on synths and piano, backing vocals from Mikel (LA BUENA VIDA) and Alaska (his old mate at PEGAMOIDES and DINARAMA). Real strings and horns are the basic ingredients of the background over which Carlos slips his dramas about abandon and disenchantment. Though most of the album is quiet and smooth, there are some dancey, upbeat moments, like the aforementioned “Estrellas Y Planetas”, “Vacaciones” and “Por Desgracia No”.

The album was mixed in UK by Ibon and Ian Catt, who had worked previously with bands like SAINT ETIENNE, THE FIELD MICE, BRIAN, TREMBLING BLUE STARS, PIZZICATO 5, REPUBLICA, COMBUSTIBLE EDISON, SHAMPOO, THE BOO RADLEYS, Tim Burgess (CHARLATANS), OVAL, ANOTHER SUNNY DAY, Sarah Cracknell and French hitmaker Étienne Daho.

The exquisite final touch is Javier Aramburu’s delightful graphic work. Apart from Carlos’ third album (“Vía Satélite Alrededor De Carlos Berlanga”) he has also made all the sleeves for many independent Spanish bands: that includes all LE MANS and LA BUENA VIDA records, plus ANA D’s “Satélite 99”, and of course FAMILY’s “Un Soplo En El corazón” (Javier was the singer of this band).

In Spain this album means the coming back of Carlos Berlanga, after an absence of some years; his return takes place in the right moment as there’s a new generation of bands (led by ASTRUD) who admires his glamour and talent; for the rest of the world, it means an introduction to a very fine pop songwriter that deserves to be recognized worldwide.

THE SCHOOL: 2026 Reissue - LP "Reading Too Much Into Things Like Everything"

There are bands that never truly leave because their songs take up permanent residence in our pop imagination. THE SCHOOL, one of the most beloved, sophisticated, and defining bands on Elefant Records, is breaking their silence in the best way possible. This 2026, they are not only returning to the stage with exclusive performances at Paris Popfest and Málaga Popfest, but they are also bringing back two of their most iconic albums. After years of being out of print and turning into genuine collector\'s items, they are finally available on vinyl once again:

“Reading Too Much Into Things Like Everything”: returning pressed on a beautiful and elegant white vinyl.

“Wasting Away And Wondering”: reclaiming all its pop brilliance on a classic, timeless black vinyl.

Led by Liz Hunt, the Cardiff outfit perfected a magical formula: reviving the legacy of Phil Spector’s wall of sound, the charm of 60s girl groups, and the luminous melancholy of CAMERA OBSCURA or BELLE AND SEBASTIAN.

These reissues are not just a look back at the past, but a fresh opportunity to enjoy albums overflowing with incredible orchestral arrangements, elegant horn sections, and bittersweet choruses that defined an era. Get your turntable ready, because THE SCHOOL is back in session.

Original promotional text:
It seemed like it would be impossible to improve on “Loveless Unbeliever”, but they did it. The album went halfway around the world, showed up on hundreds of “best of” lists of the year, was mentioned by and included in some of the most prestigious press about music and culture in general. Up to four singles came out of their compositions. They toured all around the planet and were a hit wherever they went. And now their new album is here and they have left us totally speechless. “Reading Too Much Into Things Like Everything” is a better version of THE SCHOOL. The arrangements are, if it’s even possible, even more delicate, more elegant; the emotions make your hair stand smoothly on end and the vitality and freshness are just as strong as they were on their first single.

Because Liz and her crew are capable of writing songs like “Where Does Your Heart Belong?”, which would stand out on its own strength on a compilation of the best songs by THE RONETTES or THE SUPREMES. The album opens with a song like “What’s Just Begun”, which Brian Wilson and Burt Bacharach would unanimously applaud. Stuart Murdoch is thinking that he has to go back to doing songs “It’s Not The Same” and “Never Thought I’d See The Day”. The RAMONES can’t stop dancing to the rhythm of “Why Do You Have To Break My Heart Again”. Jack Nietzche and ABBA are hugging while they remember the first time they fell in love, as they listen to “Baby Won’t You Stay With Me Tonight?”. And all of this without forgetting for one second that we’re listening to Liz and her crew. Because that’s how the new THE SCHOOL album is: well-assimilated classics that are loaded into a collection of impeccable songs; we almost dare to say inimitable.

But the most important thing about this album is that it manages to reach an almost inexplicable level of magical – a quality that only the great albums have – which transcends the utterly perfect songs and is led by the whim of emotions. This magic could be broken by just a slight alteration in the order of the songs, or some small out-of-place arrangement. Which is why we can do nothing but praise the work of Dave Wrench (BRITISH SEA POWER, Euros Childs, BAT FOR LASHES, Beth Orton, James Yorkston, FANFARLO, CARIBOU, EVERYTHING EVERYTHING, HERMAN DÜNE). But everything is there, moving us from song to song, from the dreaminess that sets off the previously mentioned “What’s Just Begun”, to the energy and vitality that the entire album gives off every second. There are little snips of bitterness like “It’s Not The Same”, there’s that melancholic goodbye that melts into the fade-out of “Baby Won’t You Stay With Me Tonight?”. And we can’t forget that happy ending, “You Make Me Hear Music (Inside My Head)”, which is even dreamier than the album starts of as, full of hope and beauty, that only someone in love wan make: You make the music in my head play.

We know it’s hard to explain, which is why the only thing we can do is encourage you to listen to this marvellous album, and hope that you feel the same way we do. Thanks, Liz. Thanks, THE SCHOOL.

THE SCHOOL: 2026 Reissue - LP "Wasting Away And Wondering"

Original promotional text:
We have finally gotten our hands on it. THE SCHOOL is back with a huge album, where their maturity and freshness combine to create an unusual formula that, based on soul, pop, and rhythm and blues, goes above and beyond the limits of brilliance and optimism, despite the sad title. Along with their traditional eight-musician line-up, led by Liz’s omnipresent voice, there are three more musicians with them, helping to create an album with lush instrumentation, and stunning completeness. This third album is anxiously awaited by so many of the fans the group has gathered (earned) all around the world with the success they achieved with their previous albums and their fantastic concerts.

“Every Day” is a trademark song in every way. Sixties-inspired folk-pop with precious arrangements, delicious choruses, and delicate but brilliant melodies. The first rays of sunshine are shining through. “Love Is Anywhere You Find It” picks it up a notch. It has a Motown base, a solid rhythm, a bridge that is a chorus in and of itself, and it reaches new levels, along with close cousins like “Your Easy Lovin\' Ain\'t Keeping Nothing” by Mayer Hawthorne and “You Can\'t Hurry Love” by THE SUPREMES. From “All I Want From You Is Everything”, we were already talking about the advance single for this album: outbursts of ye-ye and a band that is perfectly geared up to make a wall of melody, a solid and simultaneously gently exciting framework “Til You Belong To Me” has fascinating brass instruments. Optimistic, lively, with echoes of Wilson Pickett’s rhythm and blues. “Don\'t Worry Baby (I Don\'t Love You Any More)” stands with THE SHIRELLES’ “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow” as one of the songs that excites us the most, and also leaves us in the greatest despair, using Phil Spector’s legacy. Melancholy and sadness run high. “My Heart\'s Beating Overtime” is a small piece of dreamy folk pop, a brief message traced by hand and hidden in a handful of incredible songs.

“Wasting Away And Wondering” gets back to rhythm and blues in the best way, with the push and the strength of THE COMMITMENTS, the blues of Rufus Thomas, and an ever-present revitalizing pop spirit. “Do I Love You?” keeps the voltage high with an exceptional example of northern soul that will definitely play thousands of times this year in the best pop clubs all over the world, and that we will definitely dance to until we’ve had our fill. “He\'s Gonna Break Your Heart One Day” takes us to the best tradition of french pop, from Jacques Demy’s musical “Les Parapluies De Cherbourg” to singers like France Gall and Françoise Hardy, with a bridge that Ennio Morriccone could perfectly have set to music. This is solid proof of how the Welsh group’s discourse has diversified, reaching magisterial levels in all cases. Northern soul reappears with “Put Your Hand In Mine”, with a huge starring role for the string instruments, that give a lyrical tone to a song with an incredibly, highly hummable, really energetic chorus. “I Will See You Soon” was one of the songs that we already heard on the advance a few weeks ago. Straight-forward pop, solid, with small loving nods to ye-ye that play perfectly with the minor chords (another of features that could be said about the rest of the album).

And the album closes with “My Arms, They Feel Like Nothing”. This song deserves a special mention. With its choral scheme, its solid soul, it works like the ideal closure for such a perfect album. Once again, the solid rhythm that comes from Rob Jones (SLOW CLUB’s live bassist and also the producer of this new album by THE SCHOOL, and of SWEET BABOO’s album “Ships”) pushes the song until the wind instruments reach their apex, coming to an end that is like the tail of a sardine: there is no other choice but to listen to the album all over again from the very beginning.

THE SCHOOL has already given us more than enough reasons to include them among the best pop groups of the international panorama, but this marvellous “Wasting Away And Wondering” confirms it definitively. Either way, don’t miss out on the fun!

LIGHTNING IN A TWILIGHT HOUR "Every Flame A Sunset (Single Version)"

Jointly inspired by a 1985 candlelit vigil in London and by Derek Jarman hearing names whispered in the Dungeness waves, “Every Flame a Sunset” is a memorial to a lost generation and a reminder of the pain and loss suffered by both those who survived and those who did not. The themes and reflections of the 2022 BBC documentary “AIDS: The Unheard Tapes” provide further inspiration for this song about the devastating epidemic.

Taken from the 2025 album “Colours Yet To Be Named”, this single has been edited and remixed and is accompanied by a new track, “Ghost Pavilion Dub”, a minimal mood piece recorded during the album sessions.

Produced by Ian Catt in association with LIGHTNING IN A TWILIGHT HOUR, this record is released as a limited-edition 12-inch white vinyl Maxi-Single (200 copies), featuring a cover photo by Beth Arzy and design by Luis Calvo (Elefant Design), as well as in digital format.

THE YEARNING (Feat. Maddie Mae) "The Rush Of Love" Digital Single

THE YEARNING is back, and at Elefant we are excited to release their new single, “The Rush Of Love”, welcoming back primary singer Maddie Mae on lead vocals. Embracing bossa and Latin roots mixed with an easy-listening pop flavour, akin to Burt Bacharach, the song skips and floats along, capturing that wonderful feeling of giddiness brought on by falling in love. Maddie\'s effortless delivery is beautifully complemented by a light orchestral arrangement, a playful flugelhorn solo, and gorgeous backing vocals from Charley Westerman. This track offers a taste of what’s to come from THE YEARNING, ahead of their new album, also titled “The Rush Of Love”, where they explore all aspects of the subject through a blend of bossa, samba, jazz, soul and, of course, orchestral pop, filled with the timeless melodies that have become their trademark. We can’t wait to share more!

MADDIE MAE (Feat. Charley Westerman) "Obsessed" Digital Single

Maddie Mae is beginning a new era and has set out to make us dance endlessly. After singing with THE YEARNING (with whom she is preparing a new album for 2026), releasing her album “Wildflower” in 2023, playing herself singing “Polaroid Love” in the film “Your Fault” (a worldwide hit on Amazon), and contributing songs to series such as “Valeria” and “The Mess You Leave Behind”, both on Netflix, she is now aiming for a new leap in her career. And “Obsessed” is the first taste of it.

The song explores that universal experience in which, after spending some time together, you start to see a future with someone and dive headfirst into living it, fearlessly and without reservations. Playing with humor and drawing inspiration from artists like Sabrina Carpenter and her witty lyrics, the dance-spirited bass lines of DJO, and the horn arrangements in the vein of THE STYLE COUNCIL, Maddie Mae preserves the dreamy pop tones of her debut album “Wildflower”, while openly embracing a more hyper-charged sound: the kind of music you dance to in the kitchen, that you can’t stop hitting repeat on, those melodies that seep into you and inevitably affect your mood. Produced, as expected, by Joe Moore (THE YEARNING, THE PERFECT KISS, SUNLIT) along with her friend Charley Westerman, “Obsessed” marks the beginning of a phase in which Maddie Mae, in order to seek the essence of the song as the ultimate musical unit, condenses everything into just over three minutes.

We can’t wait for you to hear her upcoming songs. For now, we already have something to fire up our Saturday nights… And our Tuesday mornings.

LINDA GUILALA "Momento" Single Digital

A new song by LINDA GUILALA is always great news. So, we’re hugely excited to bring you the Digital Single “Momento”, a song that Eva, Iván and Mari recorded especially for the compilation album celebrating the tenth anniversary of the German label Dreams Never End. The Galician trio’s relationship with the label goes back to when the band, in 2019, released three singles on three labels specialized in shoegaze and dream pop, so they couldn’t miss the celebration. The album “Decade”, with twelve new songs by artists such as SECRET SHINE, MALORY or THE PROCTORS, was released last December 24, 2025 and was issued exclusively on vinyl. That’s why we’re bringing you the digital version of a song that showcases LINDA GUILALA’s finest qualities: incredible melodies, emotionally intense textures, and an angst that reaches high-voltage levels, along with a perfect communion between electronic and organic sounds. They always prove they can stand shoulder to shoulder with bands like LOS PLANETAS or MY BLOODY VALENTINE. Intimately enormous.

SUNLIT "Neon Pink" Álbum

Joe Moore is the composer behind THE YEARNING, JULIE ET JOE, and THE PERFECT KISS. He is the producer behind the most inspired moments of Cristina Quesada, Lia Pamina, and Maddie Mae. But in 2024, he released his first album as SUNLIT, a project that delved into more introspective sounds and tempos, inspired by the work of bands such as BEACH HOUSE, ALVVAYS, and MAZZY STAR. An album that broke our hearts and revealed us a new dimension of a composer capable of dancing between styles and writing songs with unique inspiration. And that\'s what makes SUNLIT so special: here, Joe takes on all the vocal duties and brings the songs to a more intimate sound. That debut was escapism and melancholy, and this new álbum, “Neon Pink”, is beauty and raw emotion.

And it starts strong: “Beside” explains the feelings of a fulfilled and reciprocated heart. “Goosebumps” reflects the desire evoked through reverberations that dance between THE RAVEONETTES and CIGARETTES AFTER SEX. “Neon Pink” seeks to capture the moment when you feel that the person you admire reciprocates your feelings. And that inevitable romanticism floats through other wonders like “Ours To Tell,” “Lifetime Of First Times,” and the song that closes the album, “Pompeii Moment”, which talks about the idea of dying next to the one you love most when the world ends. And “Let You Down” is the saddest song on the album, describing the end of a relationship.

That is the great identity that makes this album different from anything it could be compared to: it looks at the present with a perfect blend of boldness and delicacy, crafting melodies that remind us equally of LOW and Bryan Ferry or THE STONE ROSES and Julee Cruise, carving out a unique space of its own among such great creators of melodies and atmospheres. And, with such ingredients, it manages to sonically define the most intense emotions and capture feelings that only music can explain.

Looking back at everything Joe Moore has done in just a few years, how he has played with synth-pop, disco, baroque pop, chanson, bossa nova, and countless other styles, and seeing how he has managed to come out shining, is truly admirable. To think that an artist has been able to do all that by pouring all his creativity and deepest feelings into a project like this is incredibly moving.

PIPIOLAS "Pipiolas" LP/LP Deluxe

When a band titles an album with its own artistic name, it is sending a clear message: this is what there is—no filters, no gimmicks—just the brutal honesty that comes with writing a handful of songs and showing them to the world, revealing yourself as you truly are. Paula and Adriana leave behind the introduction to the world that was their debut album, “No Hay Un Dios”, released two and a half years ago, and with their new, self-titled record they face the bitterest side of what they have wanted to be in life: artists. They themselves tell us:

“Pipiolas” is the result of a break during which we had to answer who we are and whether we still have anything more to say. This album is the answer. From a more adult place, we accept the distortion that maturity entails. We chose as our language the sound that accompanied us when uncertainty was still wild and fun; we take responsibility for ourselves and decide, with all of this, to stay: to keep writing lyrics, to keep making music even when things suddenly become completely serious. We are no longer pipiolas, but we will always be free as long as we remember ourselves that way.

And that maturity, that realization of all their dreams, is evident in several ways. The first is that “Pipiolas” is a concept album. Its songs respond to a vital and musical moment; they are not a compendium of unconnected compositions so typical of today’s urgent times that platforms suffocate. That is why it asks to be listened to again and again. Each new listen enriches the result and brings us closer to everything incredible this record contains. Another aspect already hinted at in their earliest compositions is their lyrics, through which they offer us the voice of an anguished and disappointed generation, something they can express especially clearly as women, directly and without limitation. In this respect, the chorus of “No Tocar” delivers the devastating line “Yo lo que quiero es quedarme en una cueva” (What I want is to stay in a cave), in lyrics radically eloquent in the shadow of men; “No es cosa grave, esto se asume / Fui feliz hasta donde pude” (It’s not a serious thing, this is accepted / I was happy as far as I could) they sing in “Hasta Donde Se Pudo”, where they once again address the topic of mental health; and in “NaNaNa” they present themselves like this: “Ya no me tomo diazepam ni pastillas / Ahora soy una muerte viviente” (I don’t take diazepam or pills anymore / Now I’m a living dead).

The album opens with a cover version of the Broadway classic “My Favorite Things”, which speaks of finding joy and comfort in those favorite things that help us overcome sadness or difficult moments. But all this grounding has not diminished the freshness of his melodies in the slightest. A mix of MECANO, Italo disco, Madonna, CHAPELL ROAN, Europop, and BANANARAMA, with production by Vau Boy and mastering by Xavier Alarcón, PIPIOLAS continue to remind us of the importance of dance as liberation, as exorcism, as emotional expression, and they maintain a cheeky, irreverent pop spirit. They capture the energy of their live format, but focused on concision thanks to arrangements that polish melodies as forceful as those of “soy una estrella!!!”, “No Tocar”, “Ahora que…” or “Poemas”. And they raise the emotional voltage when the moment calls for it, as happens in “ay, querida”, “Mi Amiga” and “Menores”.

And that vital, hopeful message embodied by “Feria Cañete” is what closes the album. It tells us they are going to fight, that they have come to stay, that their path will be their own milestone. Less pipiolas (in Spanish is a young, amateur, or inexperienced person) than yesterday, but more PIPIOLAS than ever.

TRACKLIST: 01 ⁠My Favorite Things 02 ⁠Finita La Commedia 03 ⁠No Tocar 04 ⁠soy una estrella!!! 05 ⁠NaNaNa 06 ⁠Hasta Donde Se Pudo 07 ⁠ay, querida 08 ⁠Ahora que... 09 ⁠Mi Amiga 10 Poemas 11 ⁠Menores 12 ⁠Feria Cañete

PIPIOLAS "Feria Cañete" Single Digital

How wonderful it is to be able to announce that there’s very short time left until the release of “Pipiolas,” the second album by Paula and Adriana, and to celebrate, they bring us a beautiful and intense song full of melancholy that represents a vital ecstasy. It’s the fourth advance single from the album, and it sounds as if Lana Del Rey had written a song for Robert Smith (THE CURE). And this is how Paula tells it:

“I have always had my gaze and my thoughts fixed on nostalgia for the past and anxiety about the future, and the lyrics of my poems and songs have always gone in that direction. But one day I looked around, I looked at Adriana and saw what we have built together; I looked at Marina, Álvaro and Philip playing together while people were waiting for something from us, and I thought, ‘Fuck, I’m exactly where I want to be’. We are living the moment of our lives, the one we will want to return to when we are older and it is no longer possible. And I wanted to find a place on the map for this feeling. My grandfather, when he took my brother and me to the fair, always said: ‘Let\'s go to the Cañete Fair’. That wasn\'t its real name, but that\'s what he called it. And we went and we were happy. I was very happy in that place and I wasn\'t aware of it while it was happening, and I\'ll never be able to go back there in the same way. We are lucky to be aware, right now, of everything that is happening to us and to be experiencing it together. That\'s why I wrote this song, so we never forget that we were happy in the present”.

There\'s nothing more to add. Join us on the roller coaster that PIPIOLAS has set up, a theme park full of honesty and excitement. We assure you the experience will be unique, so get ready, because “Pipiolas” is coming very soon.

SUNLIT "Goosebumps" Single Digital

The title says it all. Chills run down our skin when we listen to the third single taken from “Neon Pink”, the second album by SUNLIT, or in other words, Joe Moore (THE YEARNING, JULIE ET JOE, Lia Pamina, Cristina Quesada, Maddie Mae, THE PERFECT KISS). Echoes of the 80s, the most delicate QUIVERS, the most emotional RAVEONETTES, those barely whispered melodies, but with the energy of a thousand distortions, the tambourine resonating as if Ronnie Spector herself had played it in \'63... A song that seeks, in its delicacy, to take on a more physical concept, because “Goosebumps” evokes desire and passion, driven by guitars that bounce off the walls of our chest.

Maybe “Neon Pink” is just that, an exercise in translating the sweetest and most delicate sounds of bands like MAZZY STAR or CIGARETTES AFTER SEX into physical sensations, those that are rooted in the deepest and most indescribable feelings. The first three preview singles seem to indicate this, and there are only a few weeks left to confirm it.

AMOR BUTANO "El Amor No Es Una Fiesta" Single Digital

Accustomed to their creative fertility, we had been missing some new recorded material from the Valencian band AMOR BUTANO. Now we can finally bring you “El Amor No Es Una Fiesta”, the first advance single from their imminent EP, “Abierta Hasta El Amanecer”. Once again, the classy 80s synthpop production full of solid melodies, the Saturday night spirit that captures the moment, and that ability to create ultra-danceable hits are all evident in a song that, toward the end, lets itself be possessed by a certain rave spirit. And, once again, Javier Artigas has been responsible for putting images to this new composition in a music video in which we see Diego, Raquel, and Sara waking up from a long night while remembering past moments they experienced. Because a good night can’t be complete without a song by AMOR BUTANO.

PIPIOLAS "NaNaNa" Single Digital

PIPIOLAS are getting us ready for the imminent release of their second album, and they’re doing so with one of their marvelous hits, the kind that fill us with their fresh and cheeky energy. “NaNaNa” is an exercise in synth-pop in the purest 80s style, with programmed basslines, dark and mysterious verses, and bright, ultra-catchy choruses. What\'s more, the slightly macabre tone of the lyrics makes their new success something like a cemetery paradox written for a bold, first-era Madonna.

“Emotions are as fleeting as life; both end up in a cemetery. What was once yes is now no, and vice versa. Who knows”. They define it well. A song that sounds like summer in December. Like nightclub doors at seven in the morning. Like dangerous friendships in the middle of a hangover. These are the journeys PIPIOLAS take us on.

LISASINSON "Desde Cuándo Todo" LP

Just two years ago, “Un Año De Cambios” was released, an album that showed the effort of a band trying to rebuild itself after a lineup change; a moment that coincided with personal and creative growth. Yet, barely a year later, the house of cards collapsed again with Paula\'s departure. But Míriam is once again arming herself with ideas, surrounding herself with great musicians, and proving that she is a prolific artist. In just a few months, she has released a series of singles heralding the arrival of “Desde Cuándo Todo”, an album that confirms her status as a personal creator who focuses on the themes that fascinate her: change, loss, the city, regaining enthusiasm, and enjoying the present moment. These are familiar themes, and the songs serve many purposes, from a euphoric Saturday to a rainy Sunday.

And although there is a certain melancholy in some of the songs on the album, such as “Salgo A La Calle”, “Lanzarote”, “Deberíamos Vernos Más”, “Quiero Que Perdamos La Cabeza (Otra Vez)” and “Me Acostumbré”, they still hold that treasure that Míriam always gives us: she is delicate and sweet, yes, but also strong and full of energy. The mid-tempo tracks, in which LISASINSON maintains the melodic power and intensity at bpms less common in their discography, also make this clear: “Desde Cuándo”, “Lanzarote” and “Me Acostumbré”. Because she now has three albums under her belt, and creative maturity suits her wonderfully well. She also continues to maintain that immediacy, continuing to produce those urgent and well-rounded hits such as “Decidí Desaparecer”, “Si Me Pierdo” and “No Quiero Envejecer”.

Her most well-rounded album to date is marked by doubts, accidents, and obstacles along the way. Borrowing its title from “(h)amor 9 amigas” (a collective book by several female authors celebrating friendship in its many forms) and a cover inspired by John Everett Millais\' “Ophelia”, designed by Alfonso, this album reflects Míriam\'s special relationship with music: one of total devotion and simultaneous exhaustion. A toxic relationship, perhaps? The intensity of her journey and the responsibilities she has taken on may help to understand the context of this album, full of rough edges and nooks and crannies where small pains hide, yet transparent like the tears constantly evoked in her songs, which inevitably heal.

On this journey, she has been accompanied and inspired by the lyrics of Cris Lizarraga, Beatriz Serrano, Anna Pacheco, Marina Garcés, Emily Austin, Lucía Lijtmaer, and Raquel Congosto. The question that defines the album and gives it its title expresses the impossibility of grasping everything that happens to us, of understanding it, of processing it, and how songs, books, films, and people help us learn to live with it.

TRACKLIST: 01 Salgo A La Calle 02 Lanzarote 03 Deberíamos Vernos Más 04 Quiero Que Perdamos La Cabeza (Otra Vez) 05 Desde Cuándo 06 Te Vienes O Te Quedas 07 Me Acostumbré 08 Decidí Desaparecer 09 Estuve En València Y Me Acordé De Ti 10 No Quiero Envejecer 11 Si Me Pierdo 12 Si Todo Se Tuerce 13 Quiero Que Perdamos La Cabeza (Otra Vez) (David Van Bylen Remix) 14 Deberíamos Vernos Más (David Van Bylen Remix) (Feat.

SUNLIT "Neon Pink" Single Digital

Just a few weeks ago, we gave you a sneak peek at the first single from Joe Moore\'s new album under the alias SUNLIT. Now we bring you another preview, specifically the song that gives this upcoming album its name. And get ready to fall in love: “Neon Pink” tells that magical moment when you realize the person you admire feels the same way about you, as if everything you were looking for in life could be captured in that instant. Because that search for beauty over melancholy is what makes this song so special, giving it a new dimension and helping us understand intimacy under a completely different color palette. It\'s impossible not to think of the early songs by TREMBLING BLUE STARS. What a marvel. We can\'t wait to share the rest of the songs from this album, made to move you irrevocably. A whisper that expands the heart.

LISASINSON "Me Acostumbré" Single Digital

There are only a few days left until the release of LISASINSON\'s new album, and we close the cycle of singles leading up to its launch. There are still many surprises to be revealed, but for now we have “Me Acostumbré”, a song that confirms the \'80s echoes already hinted at in “Lanzarote”: the creation of atmospheres, pristine melodies with greater evocative power, and an exciting, electric epic. A musical and emotional tour de force, it tells of overcoming a breakup under the guidance of a healing mantra that turns into a wild caress: “Me acostumbré a no echar de menos / Aquello que me dolía / Aquello que me rompía / Y me lloraba por dentro” (I got used to not missing / What hurt me / What broke me / And cried within me). Míriam once again moves us with her unusual strength. And very soon comes “Desde Cuándo Todo”, their highly anticipated new album.

LISASINSON "No Quiero Envejecer" Single Digital

Within to the tsunami of singles that LISASINSON has been giving us, a gift for this Christmas Eve couldn’t be missing. “No Quiero Envejecer” is yet another preview of “Desde Cuándo Todo”, and it carries the band’s unmistakable trademark. An instant punk-pop pill, overflowing with energy and, moreover, a true anthem to eternal youth. “A veces pienso que sería mucho mejor que las cosas empezaran y no continuaran más. Si fuera esto posible y no importara la verdad, me iría de vacaciones sin pensar en regresar” (Sometimes I think it would be much better if things started and
never continued. If this were possible and truth didn’t matter, I’d go on vacation without thinking of coming back). No explanations needed. Merry Christmas. And may the years not go by.
