La Monja Enana

Humo y Espejos [2008]

ER-1135 CD Digipak

LA MONJA ENANA is not your typical group with a defined path. Throughout their long, and at times, slower than usual career, they have played in Sweden, Russia, Paris and they put out a compilation in France and Mexico. The band has also been Single of the Week in Melody Maker. All of this happened without much effort from the group. LA MONJA ENANA is relaxed because they know that every once in awhile, without having to move a finger, something un-heard of happens and changes their career. Perhaps its largely due to their scientific-literary-paranormal theme in their music or it could simply be that when you listen to their music without preconceived notions, you appreciate all of the wonderful tunes with a catchy melody, a crystal and natural voice, together with surprising sounds.

The fact is, LA MONJA ENANA has numerous fans in Spain anxiously awaiting for the release of their album, “Humo y Espejo.” We are folks who sell out their concerts, sing along to their songs and know the perfect gestures which go along with each line.  We understand the references of Philip K. Dick and Jack Clayton in their older songs and with their brand new songs, we’ll catch on to the references of Lemony Snicket in “Café Kafka” and of Jorgen Leth in “Humano Perfecto.” We are people who admire how all of this may convert into a song and sound so great, catchy and melancholic at the same time. We are people who are elated that a group like LA MONJA ENANA exists, because, someone finally has written a song like “Heróes del Pasado” about the glorious oldies and because they dare with one of the most unusual songs by Jonathan Richman, “I’m a Little Dinosaur,” offered as a bonus track on the album.

Un cadáver que abre un ojo [2002]

ER-346 CD-Single [sold out]

Their long-awaited CD-Single. Five new songs by the kings of Spanish synth-pop. Their previous single was Single of the Week in Melody Maker, so what will happen with this new one?

Pídeme un deseo [1999]

ER-320 CD-Single [sold out]

This was a long-awaited record in Spain, as their first demotape caused such a commotion in radios and fanzines. Their fizzy, bubbling eighties-like techno pop is simply irresistible, and their lyrics make them even more endearing to the young and old. Fun for all ages. This record made 'single of the week' in Melody Maker!!! Discover why.

Momentos perdidos [2004]

ER-1115 CD [sold out]

We´re happy to bring you "Momentos perdidos", a collection of rarities, b-sides, wrong hits and a bunch of previously unreleased gifts. Lovely souvenirs from such different harbours as Japan, Germany, United States, France, England and, of course, Spain.
"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.
