"VILLAGE VOICE: R., Spanish troubadour"

"Join a young Spanish troubadour by the name of R — whose soon-to-expire visa is the least of his problems — as he roams the American frontier in search of love and his missing guitar. Along the way he is brutalized by aassorted post-punks and freak folks (or is that folk freaks?), kidnapped by ravers, and forced to sign a particular onerous contract by despicable industry types who plan to exploit his apparent naivité; finally young R is swept up into a Head-trip finale that makes Liquid Sky look like Romper Room. Now about that guitar..." : - VILLAGE VOICE


"UK PRESS ASSOCIATION ****"

"The debut UK release from Spanish singer-songwriter Remate is a 25-song magical mystery tour focused on quirky, fractured alt-country sketches, but also taking in falsetto pop (Dinosaurs), echo-laden self-duets (One-Eyed Land) and backwards samples (Out Of Your Skin)." - UK PRESS ASSOCIATION ****


"THE SUNDAY TIMES ***"

"...'Kitty and her Beautiful Lady' offers laid-back prettiness, 'Firefly' is skittish fun, while 'Dinosaurs' and 'Love at First Sight' suggest an off-kilter Sufjan Stevens...." :: - THE SUNDAY TIMES ***


"UNCUT MAGAZINE ***"

"...Remate boasts a soulfully croaky voice and a prodigious capacity for spare, fragile, elegantly wonky tunes. The 25 songs span the spectrum from rousing..." - UNCUT MAGAZINE ***


"NEW MUSICAL EXPRESS"

:: ...Both albums, Bird and Beetle, showcase his broad talents. Head to the music box waltz of 'Love At First Sight'. Celestial Choirs? The standout fact about Remate is his voice..."

Bio

“SOMERSAULTS” is the return of MUNI CAMÓN to the close-up since Maddening Flames, ephemeral but missed band from the very beginning of Spanish indie music. And it is also the sixth album by REMATE (*), but a really special record, devoted to Muni Camón, she is the leading role and who lights it up, because “Somersaults” is Remate writing songs for Muni Camón singing: she tells the story in third person, or sometimes plays different characters, Lucy Harpy, Miss The Sore… Tall tales about disparate couples, or maybe the same couple in some sense: "He dreams of somersaults driving his fancy van - She dreams of he has forgotten to put on the safety belt”… Songs where the music is swinging from chamber seclusion to acid relaxation, from long feverish instrumental passages to the impressive breakthrough of Muni Camón vocals, from acoustic sounds and the magical harmonium to electric pantones with unexpected textures.
