SLUMBERLAND RECORDS DAY 1:
Slumberland sigue siendo el sello indie guitarpop por excelencia. El año pasado ya nos trajo discos de Devotion Williams, Veronica Falls, Girl Names, Big Troubles, Brave Irene, Crystal Stilts o The Pains of Being Pure at Heart entre otros y este año comienza fuerte con tres singles interesantes.
El primero de ellos es “Capricornia” de Allo Darlin que debutan en el sello después de una carrera ya de varios años. El grupo de Elizabeth Morris -una australiana afincanda en UK- ha grabado su ¿mejor? canción que es el anticipo de su nuevo lp, “Europe”. Esto es lo que cuenta la propia Elizabeth de ella:
“Capricornia is the area in Queensland that I’m from. It has imaginary state lines, roughly around the Tropic of Capricorn, which runs directly through my hometown. There’s a nice 70s monument that marks the spot where the line passes, out on a lonely dirt road where all the kids learn how to drive. My family have lived in this area for over 6 generations but none of my generation remain. It’s a beautiful place.
Musically, when we first discussed the album with our producer, I suggested that the feel of Europe should be somewhere between ‘A New England’ by Kirsty MacColl and ‘Cattle and Cane’ by The Go-Betweens. I think this song is the closest to that.”
Release/catalogue number: SLR 167
