Madrid.- five years Ago The Ear of Van Gogh released his last studio album, a term that is not restless to this band that seems to not understand neither of haste nor of "laws of marketing", protected against interference by the band of the Spanish group of the most commercially successful of this century.
"Sell so many records is what has given us true freedom to do what we want, as if it is to stick a trombone in a song. Are the large budgets that get really attached to the creative freedom, against the stereotypes that surround the multinationals", said today to Efe Xabi San Martín, together with Pablo Benegas, Álvaro Fuentes, Haritz Garde and Leire Martinez.
This Friday, published "The imaginary planet" (Sony Music), the seventh studio album of a career that has already achieved the 20 years of duration and it takes the relay to "Kites in the sky" (2011) and two albums recorded live in Latin america: "Kite through the sky – live from America" (2012) and "First row" (2013).
"After many years with a strong presence in Spain and only a few moments to travel to Latin america, we had to turn around the situation and settle the debt with the fans there. Well we have missed you here in Spain and come back with batteries charged and fully refreshed," says Sources.
a Year and a half have been slow to develop this work is composed of twelve songs, or, as they like to say, twelve "stories", fleeing "subjects of fillers" and without pressure. "Every time it costs us more to write a song because we’re becoming more demanding of them," says Benegas.
Despite the more than eight million copies sold worldwide of her albums (more than 3 in Spain), they feel they are not free of oblivion. "The only thing you can grab is to do what excites you, that to us has led us to sell millions of records or to launch simple, without penalty or glory", they say about it.
To present "imaginary planet", a title that alludes to the universe itself, in which are placed each time you get together, LOVG chose this time "Summer", a court sitting that refers to Coldplay’s "in its mix of guitars and electronics" and that, according to them, is the one that "best represents the album."
it Is, however, of an "album, multifaceted and heterogeneous," with cuts "of air more rock n ‘ roll" as "December", formulas, unpublished as the duo in "So beautiful", a "fad" in the San Martin sings for the first time next to Martinez in the foreground, or "Way of thy heart", a "more current in sound," with a certain air of the caribbean which reminds us of the latest "hits" of Sia.
In it are reminiscent of the many Spanish emigrants who have found your way through Latin america, a sample of the social dimension of the new themes, which also draw attention to the "serious problem" of domestic violence, "with almost 60 deaths per year", or alzheimer’s disease, "a problem without a solution requires an understanding and company to mitigate scenarios "disturbing".
All are "equal truth", they claim LOVG, that in "That girl" stripped down their feelings of suspicion against the "excess of success and its dangers", among them, being dragged as by an "anesthesia" to the events, which makes them feel "nostalgia" for the "purity" of the first moments, when they were together "to play a song from Nirvana on the beach."
"especially in the last stage with Amaia (Montero, your exvocalista), we achieved successes brutal, but at times we have enjoyed over situations seemingly smaller, as a fan tell us that you liked a song, that other mind-boggling as a superpremio", ensure the winners of the Latin Grammy for the best pop album of a group for the "Guapa" (2006).
Almost without breath, on the 17th of December will start in the Main Theater of Vitoria (north of Spain) the new tour of the band, which will play at home with all tickets sold out December 27 in the Kursaal Auditorium. Also complete is the seating capacity of the sala Barts in Barcelona on the 18th of march, and very little is missing from The Riviera in Madrid the 28 of January.
After, they will return to Latin america to visit and take a tour of 14 dates for the U.S. EFE
