Mirafiori

No podemos volver a casa [2006]

AUTO-007 CD

After releasing an EP on Annika Records in 2001, at least we can listen to "No podemos volver a casa", MIRAFIORI's debut album, which has been delayed due to Nacho's long stays abroad.
The music in the album, recorded with the help of Guille Mostaza (from Spanish synth-pop band ELLOS) is influenced by the warmth and the harmonies of the folk and pop music from the 60's (THE BYRDS, THE LEFT BANKE), combined with a taste for classicism and the beauty in the instrumental arrangements (Isao Tomita, Erik Satie). To this we must add the eighties flavour of the drum programming, and a final touch that is as close to Spanish early indie sound (FAMILY, LA BUENA VIDA) as to British indie-pop (THE FIELD MICE, BRIAN). MIRAFIORI's lyrics, some times more symbolic and dreamy, other times more straight and direct, almost always covered with a veil of despair, join the music in an urgent search for beauty, following the tradition of the pop song patterns.
