Music festivals, the most important of September

The democracy rousseauniana is possible. Or at least what it is in the heart of León Benavente , a band formed by four members, equivalent to the best human application of the adjective. The four have the same weight in the jacks choices and, unlike other groups of success (with one or two leaders or heads visible), the four appear in their interviews, forming the same pineapple indestructible that triumphs over the scenarios.

His third over, “we are Going to get crazy , is already one of the strongest candidates for album of the year in the scene of pop-rock national. And they know it. “Well, we are always happy with everything we publish… But yes, this disk is very well ,” says the guitarist Luis Rodriguez, among the laughter of their partners.

“Well, is that we have had more time to do so ,” explains the drummer César Verdú. “In total it has been a year and a half, taking advantage of the free time that we left Nacho Vegas (part of her band). Adding days, we’ve spent nearly six months living in home of Edu, , where we’ve recorded the songs”. Love is the name of the studio Eduardo Beams (bass and synth) you have in your residence Mozota, a municipality in the province of Zaragoza. “There we were able to concentrate better than ever, has been a delight to be able to test things when you felt like,” says Verdú.

Abraham Boba (vocals and farfisa) is the one who composed the lyrics and melodies of the songs and, therefore, “is also the who is leading the show in the studio,” says Beams. “It is our way of working from the beginning, that has a lot to do with the original idea that we have of the final result of the songs,” says the singer. “That’s why not we the figure of the producer . Louis and Caesar are sound technicians, Edu is the study… In that sense we have covered the technical limitations that tend to have the groups as they record. We have been passed by the head to have a producer, but we knew that in the end we would be more comfortable doing it”.

Psychoanalysis of the festival season

“Let’s go crazy”, León Benavente shoot social critique and lament generation ; warn of the dangers of addiction to technology; psychoanalyze them to the festivaleros , and draw powerful pictures of manners with his boldness usual. “The album title is a warning”, said Ditzy with a tone of mystery. “Although it could also be a call to action. We like that you can have a thousand and one interpretations”.

there are Also a thousand ways to label the music of this quartet. “That we are not able to classify with ease is a wonderful thing,” exclaimed Rodriguez. “The best that has been said of us is that can we play any style and make it your own,” added Boba. “The people you have in your head that we are a group powerful, visceral and raw , but in this album they again have songs that show that we can also generate very strong emotions with slow times, even ballads. We still have many musical terrain that we don’t even know that we can investigate”.
