Total freedom of reinvention

Joseba Ponce.

I am surprised by this album, but also by the tumult it has created. The album is very elegant and very atypical, risky. Joseba Ponce, once again, has shown us that he is a genius and that he has not yet known the limits when it comes to bringing out his enormous creative capacity. These songs have been written to free the bowels and the collection he has made has a specific receiver: Joseba himself. He has not wanted to marry anyone, and despite the success assured in the parameters in which he had hitherto swam, he has wanted to dive in the deepest waters, at his own depths, where there is no focus, such as abyssal fish, without oxygen or any other guarantee. So, it has brought to the water shore pieces like psychodelia, orchestral pieces, etc., that are not very close to the fans of the tour. That is why I am convinced that Joseba is the one who has been most surprised by the noise.

Two clues for those who don't know it: JP Joseba Ponce is the slow and deaf brain of Hondarribia, the principal creator and composer of the visceral bands Dut and Kuraia, sculpted in the Basque rock of the 1990s and the second millennium. Now Joseba has completed her solo work, she has sunk into the mud and she has given everything. The songs are yours and you've recorded all the instruments. In addition, the album has been designed and edited by itself.

Let's go ... A keyboard launched, almost devout, welcomes us at the cadence of a paused rhythm Alperrik da apear has a lot of the majestic and almost orchestral songs of the 1970s, although among them there are signs of space stoner. Not the day is more open and varied: from the stoner of 2016, the essence of post-hardcore and also from the most guitarist and living rock. The fear starts to be malicious, crude, and with the melody always present, it acquires an interesting new wave or post-punk sound in a curious balance until the guitar is imposed on the Kuraiers. It's one of the Hits. The sticky song was born to be a pear song, but -- the mysterious underside and perverted distortion fall into psychodelia, until rock like a phoenix saves it.

As for the second part of the album, the Hiruki beltza gives life to psychodelia and the composers of Iparralde, although then the hard rock and the progressives are installed on their ground. The lobby is more lively and joyful, a sticky loop. The Profanation is a complete song, of great development: very intimate, exciting and completely impregnated with the essence of the 70's; No wonder that the force of the hammond gives us strength! Finally, the pop-rocker song from the Joseba winery, which has a lot of secrecy, mystery and unscrutable consistency. Nice job the mud!

I received your e-mail in personal mail on the strike portals. At first, like many others, I thought it was to let you know what options we have in the face of the strike. But no, the e-mail received was a political and communicative movement against the strike.

The other day in Bilbao, I met a friend at the Bira bar. We were very happy at the Tar and I said: “Of course, since you’re Guipúzcoa, hahahaha.” And he insisted that he was not Guipuzcoan. Without me understanding it, I kept saying, “Ah! Is it not? You were born in New... [+]

Life surrounds everything, it is limited and fragile. To live good lives, it seems to me that the body knows what to do, while the mind, although it knows (when it is well informed), often sees the body deliberately silence. In this silence the mind opens itself to relations... [+]
