La revolución sexual [2007]

ER-1131 CD Digipak / LP

With this album, Guille Milkyway makes a big step forward in the evolution of his sound and the concept of one of the more successful records we have ever released in Elefant Records.
Musically, the songs are based in the same patterns that turned them into world cult artists: melodic pop songs, with catchy choruses that are easy to strum and singalong. High class pop music, that here shows itself as intentionally artificial, more made in Shibuya than ever. Songs are here maybe more complex than before, but always keeping the timeless classic pop influence that, along with its coups d'effect, sudden changes and surprising twists, describe the magical touch of the songs by LA CASA AZUL.
In the music by LA CASA AZUL live together without any problems 50's doo wop and 60's easy listening and 60’s bubblegum, 80's technopop, 70's disco and 90's shibuya-key and europop; references to such different yet close bands and artists as ELO, PILOT, Hugo Montenegro, PIZZICATO FIVE, Jean-Jacques Perrey, DENIM, Jacno, Enoch Light, Lio, Silvetti, The Jetset, Scoobydoo... Or to mention more contemporary names: APRILS, YMCK, PLUS TECH SQUEEZE BOX, CAPSULE, Andreas Dorau, STEREOTOTAL, HELEN LOVE, THE GO! TEAM, THE BRAN FLAKES, SCISSOR SISTERS, OPTIGANALLY YOURS...

El sonido efervescente de la casa azul [2006]

ER-1119 CD Digipak

The debut album by LA CASA AZUL with a lot of extra tracks. We mean a lot, really: the original album featured eight songs, and the featured tracks on this reissue will rise to twenty-one! Besides the eight original songs, this new reissue includes the band’s first three demos: the first one, “Te invito a mi fiesta” (recorded between 1998 and 1999), which features the first version of their classic tune “Cerca de Shibuya” and several previously unreleased songs; the second one, “Canciones ligeras” (1999), which features Jeanette’s version “Si no voy a esperar” among others; and the third one, “Galletas” (1999). Besides of this, the album features three bonus tracks: the cover version of the 80’s hit by MECANO “Quiero vivir en la ciudad”; the revised version of their classic song “Chicle Cosmos” (revised in 2005 to be used in the soundtrack of the movie “Borjamari y Pocholo”); and the song “Tantas cosas que arreglar” (initially released in our compilation “Momentos perdidos”).

For the new cover we have used the beautiful illustrations drawn by Duprez, who has perfectly captured the unique mood and universe of the band, and their philosophy of eternal fun and happy pop scapism. To make it short, this is a deluxe reissue which will be a great news for all the recent fans of LA CASA AZUL, who until now had to do with cold and soulless CD-R’s. Very soon it will be available in the best shops.

Como un fan [2005]

ER-360 CD-Single Digipak [sold out]

CD-single featuring two new songs by LA CASA AZUL, two new pop gems in technicolour (“Viva [un poco más] el amor” and “Debería plantearme cambiar” ), plus the title song, taken from the album ("Como un fan") and a wonderful cover version of an original track by Spanish cult pop band FAMILY, plus the videoclips of "Superguay" and "Como un fan", two teenage pop explosions directed by Domingo González.
"Viva (un poco más) el amor" starts reminding of Brian Wilson's teenage symphonies, but it soon takes a different path with the typical frantic rhythm of LA CASA AZUL's best songs. "Debería plantearme cambiar" is more upbeat from the beginning, and takes us to the best moments of Motown soul, the old hits sung by THE SUPREMES or THE FOUR TOPS. In the bridge leading to the chorus they sound more than ever like the ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA, nowe can really say that Guille has found "el secreto de Jeff Lynne" (the title of one of their songs). "Viaje a los sueños polares" is the uptempo cover version, in a nippon club-pop style, that they did a few years ago for the tribute to FAMILY album. A fantastically energetic easy listening tune that seems directly out from the mind of Yasuharu Konishi (PIZZICATO FIVE). "Como un fan", last but not least (especially being the title to the record), is a classicly cut pop song, talking about love and despair with a lot of pop icon namedropping, from Barça (the uber popular soccer team in Barcelona) and THE CLASH to Billy Joel or BEN FOLDS FIVE.
To make it a completely satisfactory pop experience, we have included two of the band's videoclips, containing the true essence of the sunshine pop and bubblegum aesthetics and lifestyles that we love so much. With such music as the contained on this single, the world can be such a beautiful place to enjoy.

Tan simple como el amor [2003]

ER-1107 CD Digipak / LP [sold out]

Finally, here's the long-awaited long play by LA CASA AZUL. Sunshine-pop producer Guille Milkyway found in the five members of LA CASA AZUL the perfect performers for his sunny melodies that mix the spirit of 60's A&M productions with 70's disco music and 90's most refreshing europop. Perfect pop artisans, we're talking about pop full of small details in the shape of arrangements, LA CASA AZUL have the knack to catch you at the first listen with their songs, making you play the main role in so many stories dreamt by all of us, where the main ingredients are love, happiness, friendship or even anger. The vinyl LP version is a numbered and limited edition of 555 copies.

"Momentos perdidos" shouldn´t be seen as the usual compilation, nor a balance of the most representative stuff from the last years: we only expect to bring you a collection of delightful songs that, due to different reasons, were hidden in a record or never came to be published.
