Beyond nostalgia and melancholy, the need to make the right songs

  • Amnesia and light Fiachras Mauka 2015
Then, the Fiachras group has formed a group that for a long time has been in the most perverse and worst environments: they started making punk rock to throw away the youth bile in various groups, and they disappeared when they had to start punching their hair almost loaded. The disaster of life, having seen and lived at the bottom of the sea, plundered, took a boat and departed as far as possible from the pain to forget all the desolation he had suffered. They stopped in ports of other latitudes and in the seafarers packed the inner pain with the drink and singing. So they began to write songs from within without artifacts: some filled with rage, rocketing and real; and others, very melancholy, with roots. It was the premiere of Fiachras.
 
Then, driven by the excesses of remoteness, of nostalgia, of the sea and of the taverns, they entered full into the folk of melancholy, of truth and of the most affordable way to feel bound to a land; the result, a record with the apocalyptic motto Hiltzera goaz.
 
Now, however, after a few years, wanting to move away from nostalgia and grasping forcefully at the helm of the present, they have embarked again boldly, in a clear direction: write direct songs, singable and editable anywhere and in any way, from reflection, but above all from improvisation. Amnesia and light is the third job that tries to banish what was experienced in the past and get that spark that songs must have for themselves to reach anyone; no tricks, no poses, nudity and improvisation.
 
Despite the fact that in Bergara, in Lazkao and in Legazpi we are facing a new album and a new direction of the band that has the legs, the singer Haritz Artola has further rounded the words of his “losers”, which leave a big trail. On the other hand, when they sing in a tone of voice and in a group environment, the songs are branded as Fiachras; and, of course, in the sticky refrains that enter into them. But on this occasion, both rock and guitar have even more presence and the hammock of Freddy Peláez, who has been in charge of the recording, is also decisive in several songs: The light of truth, The perfect hug, Your success and my death, to the border with God and to the door of hell. In addition, Blindness is a round country; the claws of pleasure also have from the western and the most acidic rock and roll; the voice of blood is more appealing and penetrating; and before a Zuberotarra they have worked their own rock and roll, funny.

Vital

I was surprised – in a good sense – by this new project. In Bergara, Aitor Aldanondo, created around a stone, has many senses. In this work he wanted to somehow get what he has lived for years.

Aldanondo started her musical career in the Criminal Brigade group, dedicated to... [+]

The fantasy of being honest

On the occasion of a documentary about Eñaut Elorrieta, I was invited to Tabakalera two or three weeks ago. I liked the invitation to the colloquial premiere, but when I approached the film I began to find many people, there Paul e Itziar, there Maiz, there Eneko, Olatz e... [+]

Don't get tired on the favorite plain

"Here, as a revelation, space and time look clearer." Look at Narbaiza come back and thank you. Narbaiza is one of the most special singers on the scene. There is no more to see how new songs govern.

Two treasures and a crib: Buenawixta

I was very pleased that the Artza brothers, together with the launch of the new record, intended to retrieve and vinyl the Barrakos model, where would I buy it? In fact, the model cited in 1990 is a treasure that our music has been ignored in history. Some of those who would act... [+]

Destroy to build in freedom

There's no other way, you have to change what you don't like and create something else: break it and start from scratch. That was the basis of punk, and that's what Leire Led Inferno (voice) and Txerra Bolinaga (drums) decided when the Piztupunk group voluntarily dissolved and... [+]

The beauty of quiet

Euskal Herria will not issue stories like Searching for sugar man. What we are going to do is diminished and disadvantaged. But this small town, and the great hell, is the one that has given many myths that come out of the shadows and come back into the shadows.

In the 1980s,... [+]

Nobody will be invited to steal

The Perlata de Arrasate group will not marry almost anyone. Since 2015 they have been making their own way, looking at what is being done around them, but in their own direction and pace and not reassure them. They carry quite a few records and miles on their backs. I was... [+]

In the end he has done so. Finally, after years of progress, bertsolari Odei Barroso has taken his first solo job. Well, bertsolari doesn't. Raplari before being bertsolari. But the wisdom of the verse is well used, to say with rhyme to those who had to say and shake themselves... [+]
