Eneritz Furya, the universe in flowers
The Irish Eneritz Furya has never been an artist for simple ears. Nor is there any intention to be. Before he used his pronunciation and his rapture as a sniper, now he uses it as a painter and is able to give away a new universe. It has measured dissonance and it has been a slow and beautiful album without any kind of serenity.
It is and will be “outside the manufacturing system” in Emada de Furyak, self-produced in 2021 and self-recorded. Here you will not find artists that enjoy underground or marginal ones looking for a small hegemony in this small Basque market. Furyak has the sense of authenticity as a luddite before the established: Burn the last piece!
It's based on the guitar, but with the synthesizers color wide cosmic panorama. As Izkander Fernández has rightly said, those flowers that are on the skin can be their music, adding color into the dark.
The disc is dominated by repetition, perhaps because by composing only the looperra has made it easier, and the songs have been built by adding layers. At one point, we also have escapes that work like a gantxo, to get attention back and join the song, like that "i" repeated in the Belaile song, circling with a toy synthesizer. Furya, as now, has played a lot with voice and sounds, and now offers funny moments.
I'm listening in Emada with the Clamor album just released by Maria Arnal and Marcel Bagés. This cross-hearing a posteriori facilitates the connections between the two works and Furyak stands out in meteorites, in relations between non-human beings, at the end of the world and in a new beginning of the world. Donna Haraway's cyborg joins the ability to imagine images of Björk.
The story of the whole world can go in one moment. A winter night without piano, an effective drug. A breath. A vacuum. In Emanes there is a demand for tangles and an invitation to tranquillity. “You will expire, like fire, but you’re a fire, like a long time ago.”
Emada is a point where fragility and courage come together. Capable of condensing the universe into a small disk. A series of flowers and colors in which as many beings as humans will be introduced. It won't make a record either on Spotify or on Youtube, but it will leave its mark on the land you're riding.
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... [+]
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... [+]
Sometimes you have to combine a lot of elements to get a result you haven't anticipated. This has happened in some way with the Feline group, created between Gernika and Bermeo. Iñaki Baini, from the Punk First Aid group, started playing with electronics at home and recorded... [+]
"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.
Because for most creators, what we do is the shadow of what we've done once... [+]
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... [+]
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... [+]
If you're one of those listening to music on the Internet, you almost certainly know Kokoroko. You don't think so, but take a second and look for Abusey Junction. The melancholic riff guitar by Oscar Jerome has been known for being among the favorites of the algorithm of platforms... [+]
The Neoma group leads to the percussion of tradition, with a careful electronic mold. Leire Etxezarreta, Amets Ormaetxea and Irati Gutierrez de Arrasate, Garazi Otaegi de Asteasu, Eneritz Aulesti de Zarautz, Maria Lasa de Zizurkil and Alaitz Eskuero de Deba are the seven... [+]
In 1988, in the midst of punk youth and RRV in Euskal Herria, between Bilbao and Santurtzi, four brave young men who looked at transoceanic music, including the antipodes, founded the La Secta group, one of the drivers of the pioneer fanzine The Heritage of the Munster. In... [+]
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,... [+]
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... [+]
The pandemic crisis has also been a new opportunity for regeneration, as demonstrated by the Odolaren Mintzoa group in Usurbil. His work mocking normality has been slowly cured in the Garate de Andoain studies. With the help of Kaki Arkarazo collects 8 refined songs.
As for the... [+]
Any of us, each of us, are necessarily a reflection swimming in an immense sea surrounded by threats, opportunities and many other living beings. We have a good job in managing our own flotation line, as well as choosing what to collect and dispense with waves, waves, etc. They... [+]
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... [+]
