The Wave Pictures release vinyl-only new album: "Susan Rode The Cyclone"

Charming heirs of Darren Hayman's Hefner and a gleeful Jonathan Richman, The Wave Pictures do not tire of playing their contagious songs on stage after stage, but they also make the most of the quiet moments between tours to go into the studio and come out with a collection of cheeky and playful songs in which folk and pop come together completely naturally. Not satisfied with recording the brilliant "Instant Coffee Baby" (2008) and "If You Leave It Alone" (2009), now "Susan Rode The Cyclone" - with its stripped-down rock sound and witty lyrics, scratching guitars and overwhelming choruses - confirms they are in their best shape.  (White color) Vinyl-Only album, limited to 699 copies.
The Wave Pictures originally formed in 1998 in their hometown, the tiny rural village of Wymeswold in northern Leicestershire, in Great Britain's East Midlands. Heavily influenced by both their parents' classic rock record collections and John Peel's indie-ce...

Brand new album by MIgala's ex singer, EL HIJO

Migala was a rock-based experimental band hailing from Madrid, Spain. The band was known for its complex, varied, and often cathartic musical arrangements, heavily influenced by post-rock, folk, and traditional Spanish music. El Hijo (“The Son”) is Abel Hernández, whose sheltering voice used to appear on Migala and now delivers his second solo album after a couple of EPs and a debut album (“Las otras Vidas”, 2007). “Madrileña” offers 10 new tunes sung in Spanish that thrive in a personal songwriting coming from both Hernández’s emotional and musical roots, where chamber pop collides with orchestral folk ballads in a graceful blend of storytelling and rich instrumentation. Anyone with a soft spot for Sufjan Stevens, Iron & Wine or Pascal Comelade could fall for El Hijo as well.
Madrid does not exist.  Madrid is just a stage, decorated and dirty at the same time. Full of lights, at times covered in darkness. It is a messy backdrop in which the characters, often enthusiastic, often lonely and unhappy, wander in this collection of...

Acuarela Singles' club looks into 2010.

After the first two "items" of our singles club (The Wave Pictures and Agent Ribbons), the next vinyl will be an exclusive 7" by Tara Jane O´Neil, to be released in June. As usual  the run will be of 1000 copies, with previously unreleased songs, and there will be no CD edition in any case. Among the other participants we can mention Darren Hayman, Chris Brokaw, El Hijo (ex Migala), Nick Castro, Inca Ore, Jamie Stewart (Xiu Xiu), The Drift, Bracken, Mount Eerie, Ben Wetherill, Barzin, or The Wowz.
Madrid-based Acuarela’s relationship with vinyl has always been rather intermittent. While the beginnings of the label back in 1993 were marked by the debuts on 7” of several Spanish acts such as Sr. Chinarro or a single by Scottish band BIS (“Transmiss...

Nacho Umbert: the Mediterranean Bill Callahan...

Native of Barcelona, Nacho Umbert was the lead singer and songwriter of the cult Spanish band Paperhouse, whose only album, remarkably titled “Adiós” and recorded and produced by Kramer in his Noise-NJ Estudios in 1995, is still considered one of the most unique records of  our music scene.  Now Nacho returns to the spotlight after almost 15 years of silence, with a totally different approach to music and a preference for chamber-pop, bossa-nova and acoustic structures, all giving shape to ten short stories featuring everyday heroes disguised as common people. 
"Ay..." sounds like M. Ward after spending the whole summer between Barcelona and the Costa Brava, Beach Boys, Joao Gilberto, Bill Callahan, Red House Painters living and raving in Brazil, John Martyn, Herman Dune or Randy Newman.  ...

"Silver Sea Surfer School", a new CD by Inca Ore

Eva Saelens lives in Oakland, California, where she created her solo music project Inca Ore on her 25th birthday in 2004. Birthdays have been a theme since the project's conception. Self-invention, musical intercourse birthing prisms of self - this musician came into creativity suddenly, and has since been strongly inspired by the unimaginable geographies of self discovered through the act."Silver Sea Surfer School" is available in our online shop.
The incongruent substance of Inca Ore's recordings, released over the years by Weird Forest, Not Not Fun, 5RC, Collective Jyrk, Acuarela, Chocolate Monk and Ruralfaune, are distinctly hers because of the unpredictable dimensions of her musical personality and...

Debut album by Fran Gayo (ex Mus).

Fran Gayo has been Gijón's Film Festival programmer since 1997, writes articles in music and film magazines like Cahiers du Cinéma or Rockdelux, and is Público's newspaper official correspondent in Cannes and Venice Film Festivals. He used to combine this job with his work as a writer and musician in the band Mus until they split up in 2008. Now he comes back with a new identity, with a project under his own name and with his own voice, in a more intimate state of mind reminiscent of Leonard Cohen, Barzin, Serge Gainsbourg, Harry Nilsson or Randy Newman. 
Las próximas cosechas [The next harvests] is the starting point of a renewed expression mode filled with clarity, candor and a renewed intimacy. The story of a second chance with which Fran Gayo has learned to look within to find the sing...
