It is unusual to begin what desires to be a praise from fierce criticism. But the worth of “cry right here” with out explaining the alley – a useless finish, clearly – that he had discovered himself in just lately. Ferran Palau. The metaphysical pop that he, Jordi Matas and Joan Pons conceived and that the press glorified, had turn out to be a jail for the singer-songwriter. It was more and more tough to tell apart the attributes that made their minimal debut songs a celebration. The languor, the delays, the steam, had clouded his manufacturing.
Those who imitated what had already turn out to be a system, that “metaphysics” between minimalist and lukewarm, made the label much more tiresome. Fortunately, artists, the perfect ones, are tired of repetition and the artist from Collbató has closed the floodgates to “Kevin” (19) o “Parc” (21) to create a brand new “I”; to be honest, “Joia” (21) not breathed precisely the identical because the earlier ones. Be that as it could, the particularity is that this “I” appears like all of your “I’s”, however renewed. “cry right here” does justice to his declare “The water of the stream” (12), to simplicity, to the play of spherical songs with out the necessity for a lot ambiance. And even look again additional. There is one thing from the album that his earlier band, Anímic, had. The neo-folk. And additionally plain folks; songs that appear like they had been constructed from first takes like “Today” o “120”.
Once once more, the music reveals that it isn’t the Indian, however the arrow. Well, the album was made by Palau himself with Matas and Pons, including Mr. Chen, and, altering his thoughts, in substance, with extra play, one thing completely totally different has come out: crystalline, at occasions harmless, at different occasions unusual. Sufjanstevensiana. Furthermore, the album accompanies – or the opposite means round – a brief movie with a retro really feel, endearing, with a beautiful photograph, eight minutes, about two monsters, Snif and Smosly, so cuddly… It is a joint work with Pablo Maestres (course), Dsorder (design ), Agnès C. Olivé, Andrea Ruiz Pérez and Atena Pou (creators of the bugs), which along with the music from the album as a soundtrack has simply given all the ensemble one other studying. To transfer ahead, you must go away behind the monsters, the prisons, and the metaphysical.
