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.
