BAND À PART: New Videoclip "Blankets"

“Blankets” is delicious, with marvelous arrangements that remind us of SAMBASSADEUR, CLUB 8 and CAMERA OBSCURA, mixing hope and melancholy.

NEW ADVENTURES IN POP 012

They are already old friends of our New Adventures in Pop collection, but we couldn’t resist the temptation to have them among us again. After that “No sé por que” that disappeared from the stores at the speed of light and which brought them so much recognition both in Spain and abroad, we now have “Una persona normal con gafas de metal”, the new single that enriches our special collection of little colored limited-edition vinyls. It has four marvelous songs, two of which are new and the last two of which are already known, although here in a different version, by the addicts of their demos.

The title track is one of those house specialty luminous and summery songs, with echoes of the infinite strength of FITNESS FOREVER, but with a tremendously danceable chorus. “Blankets” is delicious, with marvelous arrangements that remind us of SAMBASSADEUR, CLUB 8 and CAMERA OBSCURA, mixing hope and melancholy. “La merienda” is a song that Javi and Coral wrote for Agustín Fuentes’ (the director of the Contempopránea Festival) radio program, and it’s a hyperdanceable hit, full of energy and vitality and that we could compare to the early songs by LA CASA AZUL. “Souvenir de L’avenir” recovers that summery breath, but this time with a loungier grounding and a delicate adhesion to bossanova. Four songs like four different suns.

This is definitely a new gem that it is becoming a part of the BAND Á PART collection and that makes us even more excited than we were before for new songs from this duo, which promise big things.

Lyric "Blankets":

No hace tanto de aquello y ya ves
Lo había olvidado o eso pensaba yo
Recorriendo mi cuarto encontré
Los viejos apuntes, la última foto
Te gustaba patinar
Enredarnos en tu bufanda
Y solías repetir: así no te escaparás

He contado las veces que te vi
En aquel invierno delante del lago
He soñado que te oía reir
Tomándome el pelo, cogiendo mi mano
Me resisto a pensar
Que eso es algo que nunca volverá
Te quisiera preguntar
¿En qué piensas cuando ves nevar?

En ti, eso te diría si supiera que es de ti
Y aunque es posible que ni me recuerdes
Es así, eso te diría si supiera lo que decir
Y aunque es posible que ni me recuerdes yo
Me resisto a pensar
Que eras estrella fugaz
Te quisiera preguntar
¿Quieres venir a bailar?
