LA MERIENDA
Details Press Release.
Band À Part is Javi Román and Coral Rodríguez. Drawing inspiration from Godard’s Nouvelle Vague, Gainsbourg, J.D. Salinger, and the twee pop of Sarah Records, as well as Stereolab, Beach Boys, and The Love Generation, they picked up their guitars, melodicas, and xylophones to start composing in 2006. Restless and self-sufficient, they not only record their music in their own studio but also bring a strong visual identity to their work. From the graphic design of their singles to their self-directed and produced music videos, everything comes to life in their Laboratorio de Band À Part.
Achievements and awards
Una Persona Normal Con Gafas De Metal contents four songs with marvelous arrangements that remind us of Sambassadeur, Club 8 and Camera Obscura, mixing hope and melancholy.
After a slow 2012 with only two songs (“Cascabel” and Donde Todo Sigue Igual) released the band is back in 2013 with La Aventura Original. A release that celebrates Band À Part’s best qualities: light, agile songs; high energy; so many influences that showcase their extensive musical culture; and intelligent, emotional lyrics.
