For their latest project, this trio transformed a personal reconnection into a collaborative musical journey. What started as a few tucked-away songs intended for self-reflection quickly became a fully realized album, fueled by friendship, curiosity, and a shared desire to create something timeless. Balancing technical skill with spontaneity, they carefully craft each arrangement, texture, and silence to evoke precise emotions. Drawing inspiration from dream rock atmospheres, eclectic rhythms, and their own life experiences, the band navigates vulnerability, collaboration, and experimentation to produce music that resonates on both intimate and universal levels. From the first spark of “Forget Me” to the ambitious production choices with John Foyle and Mucky, this album charts a journey of dreaming, learning, and ultimately exhaling—a sound that’s as deliberate as it is emotive.
Can you walk us through the moment or idea that sparked your latest project?
It really started from a place of friendship and mutual respect between the three of us. To be honest, I had all these songs tucked away in a drawer; I only intended them as a way to reconnect with my own essence. If Javi hadn’t pushed me to share them and develop them as a team, this project wouldn’t exist.
How do you usually approach songwriting or composition — is it structured or more spontaneous?
It’s a bit of both. I’ve studied piano and attended the conservatory since I was eight, so there is a technical foundation there. However, we approach this album as a “carefully crafted set of songs” where every arrangement, texture, and silence is intentional and meant to stir a specific emotion. We work first from home and then meet at the rehearsal studio to jam and mix our ideas.
Which artists or experiences have influenced the sound and themes of your new work?
We draw from a lot of different places—artists like London Grammar or The xx can inspire us with their dream rock atmospheres, while Darkside or Wild Beasts have this unclassifiable mix of sounds that we love, we like chanpan and piri in the rhythm section for the jungle beats… there are a lot. Themes-wise, it’s influenced by the personal relationships, the search for beauty in this fast-paced times and the experience of learning from hard lessons.
How do you decide which personal experiences make it into your music?
We focused on experiences that follow a full emotional arc. We divided the songs into “Dive in”—the hard lessons and mistakes that leave a mark—and “Breathe out”—the clarity and calm that come when you finally resurface.
Can you describe a song from your album and the story behind it?
“Forget Me” is very special to us. It was the first song we ever worked on together; it was the “spark”. It captures that instant connection we felt, which luckily had a happy ending for the band. It’s a delicate, intimate confession that grows into a shoegaze-influenced finish.
How do you approach collaboration within the band or with producers?
We have an eclectic, music-loving bond. I provide the vocals and keys, Juande brings the pulse and rhythm, and Javi orders our creative chaos and transforms it into something beautiful. Adding international producers to the mix brings us to another place we haven’t visited before, and it is exciting. We record in our studio, send them the ‘clean’ tracks, they send us back their initial ideas, we record missing details, send them back… until we both are happy with the result.
What was it like working with your production team on this album, and how did their input shape the final sound?
Working with John Foyle and Mucky was an ambitious creative leap for us. They helped us step away from market logic and trends to create a sophisticated, international sound that we feel doesn’t sound like a typical “spanish” band. John is delicate and precise, and Mucky is quite bold and hectic. We love how every one added their personality to our songs, and how well they sound together as an album.
Were there any unexpected challenges or breakthroughs during recording?
The biggest breakthrough was the validation of the project itself. We sent some demos and immediately grabbed attention from a record label, helping us to believe that this project had some sense 🙂 Major challenges are pushing ourselves to not go into previous directions, to fall in the same patterns, to prioritize the time and resources, to stay close to each other and create a bond based on something that is as rewarding as music could be.
Your music often explores deep emotions — how do you balance vulnerability with performance?
In my previous band, Uniforms, my voice and my figure was often hidden behind guitars and effects, shoegazing. Now, I’ve taken center stage. I balance it by focusing on the emotions we are trying to achieve; if the music is authentic, the vulnerability feels like a strength on stage.
If you could sum up the emotional journey of this album in one sentence, what would it be?
It is a journey of dreaming, sinking, learning, surviving, and finally exhaling.
How do you hope listeners will interpret or connect with your songs?
I hope they find a spark, a wink, a bet. I hope they connect with something that is very intentional, that brings a lot of emotions (from calmness to anger, from dreams to dance) and that they can enjoy freely, without being labeled.
How has your perspective on the music industry changed since you started?
I’ve realized that for most artists, streaming isn’t profitable, and the industry is often “statistically rigged”. Because of that, we decided to ignore the “logic of the market” and invest our own resources into making something we believe is timeless, beautiful and meaningful. Creating music for ourselves, then trying to connect with others. We have been in other projects, from DIY scenes to large stages, and the most rewarding thing that happened to us was always linked to people and experiences, not to numbers.
What’s been the most rewarding moment in your career so far?
That initial “click” when we started working together and seeing the immediate interest from national media like Radio 3 and Mondo Sonoro before we even released the full album. Then, being asked to play in a music fest with just 2 singles was something quite unexpected!
How do you navigate expectations versus staying true to your artistic vision?
We stay true by prioritizing quality and our own friendship over immediacy. We’ve dedicated everything we have—time, love, and resources—to this sound, so we are already enjoying everything that is happening to us.
What’s next for you — are there directions or experiments you’re excited to explore in your music?
We are focused on our presentation tour that starts in a few days in Málaga, Madrid, Barcelona… It’s an ambitious set and we want to make a great performance. We want to keep building this project for longevity, and we already have more new songs, with ideas that we will be playing live before going into the studio.
