Not just because of his impeccable trajectories as a musician (AVENTURAS DE KIRLIAN, LE MANS, SINGLE, his solo work, and so much more) and as a producer (\u003cb\u003eCarlos Berlanga\u003c\/b\u003e, NOSOTRÄSH, CORAZÓN, ANA D...). Because each step in his career has been personal, distinctive, always pushing the category of music as art, and questioning the value of the word “art” itself. All at the same time. That’s why his universe is different. That’s why “Foto Aérea”, his new album, deserves its own special commentary.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut before we start with that special commentary, let’s put things into context. \u003cb\u003eIbon\u003c\/b\u003e’s career has always mixed that touch of personality with a certain level of experimentation. That isn’t too far off from this new album, in a way, but the general air of the album is more classic. Why? Because melody is king here, roaming freely through the various songs on the album, transforming, appearing and disappearing, following its own wishes and whims. Melody that tastes like the sea and the breeze. This is where the breaking point comes. Among all the instruments, there is a song being sung – the first one that \u003cb\u003eIbon\u003c\/b\u003e sings in his entire career. What’s more, it’s a cover, a delicacy with touches of Broadway and lounge, written by \u003cb\u003eJerome Moross\u003c\/b\u003e for the musical “The Golden Apple” in 1954: “Lazy Afternoon”.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe people who accompany \u003cb\u003eIbon\u003c\/b\u003e on this journey are temporary, but important. Obviously, his band-mate from SINGLE, \u003cb\u003eTeresa Iturrioz\u003c\/b\u003e, named all the songs and lent her voice to “El Objeto” and “Paradox” (two closely related songs). \u003cb\u003eXavier Alarcón \u003c\/b\u003emastered the album and \u003cb\u003eJavier Aramburu \u003c\/b\u003ehas made another of his unbelievable covers. And everything else, as per usual, was concocted and consumed by our friend \u003cb\u003eErrazkin\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e And now, we have finally reached the moment for that special commentary. Nothing less than commentary written by \u003cb\u003eDamon Krukowski \u003c\/b\u003eof GALAXIE 500 and DAMON \u0026amp; NAOMI. \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“\u003ci\u003eFoto Aérea” has emerged, as if the ground were too far away and indistinct to make out details, until slowly slowly our eyes adjusted and the features of a landscape began to distinguish themselves one from the other. And now we can’t stop looking, because we only see more and more. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This album reminds me of poetry, rather than theater; it’s less a performance than a construction. There’s a famous American poem called, “Thirteen Ways Of Looking At A Blackbird” – stanzas in which a blackbird keeps appearing, but always in a slightly different manner and for a slightly different reason.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e Ibon Errazkin\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e’s elegant guitar lines are like that bird, melodies that return but never exactly repeat. They alight, pausing long enough for us to recognize them, and then move on again. The effect is cubist; refracted; abstract, yet made out of recognizable elements. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This album is also truly a record, falling into two halfs. Each side is defined by a motif which morphs into texture, mood, yet feels free to return simply as melody if it chooses. The bird lands and takes off, but leaves the landscape changed each time it does. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Voices, when they appear, enter this landscape like old friends arriving out of the mist: it’s \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eIbon\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e and \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTeresa\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e, of SINGLE and LE MANS, come to say hello. Helloooooo, they call from far away. And then, once we’ve found each other, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eIbon \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003esings us a tune for our lazy afternoon. Later, as they leave, they call to us once more, again from a distance… Until we bid each other good night in that private language we share.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Because this misty world where we meet our friends is also where we can lose them. But the landscape we were in together will never be the same. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elefant","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":67994616398100,"sku":"ELE1225","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1035\/0284\/0084\/files\/a4141039807_10.jpg?v=1793920525","url":"https:\/\/primeunion.shop\/products\/ibon-errazkin-foto-aerea","provider":"Linden \u0026 Oak","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
