about

“Jose María Lluch, ha venido desarrollando un trabajo oculto, en solitario y en paralelo con su actividad en Grande Days, acumulado en una serie de grabaciones caseras que hasta 2018 tan solo constituían un archivo personal de experimentos, búsquedas y hallazgos. Es entonces cuando fruto de la colaboración de Grande Days con Xabier Erkizia en “Mirande”, este último le propone grabar un disco en solitario que de salida a ese estupendo legado. Comienza así una fructífera relación epistolar sonora entre ambos que a lo largo de 6 años ha ido modelando y entretejiendo esos pequeños retales en, de momento, dos bellísimas piezas de ambient celestial, de un alcance, profundidad y emoción mucho más intensa y prolongada de lo que sus poco más de 30 minutos pueden inicialmente sugerir.
Basado en grabaciones de campo delicadamente engarzadas con texturas guitarreras y manipulaciones de cintas magnéticas, las referencias estilísticas de Lluch evocan el recuerdo de una lejana tormenta que escuchamos a cobijo, deleitándonos y concentrándonos tan solo en la belleza de su sonido. Me recuerda quizá a las exquisitas grabaciones de sellos como Kranky Records en los 90 y primeros 2000, cuando el post-rock era aún la promesa de un excitante futuro lleno de posibilidades. Pero no es más que un ligero atisbo adivinado tras la niebla. Es preferible adentrarse, dejarse envolver y disfrutarlo por uno mismo. Una pequeña joya a la que espero que dé continuidad.”

"Jose María Lluch has been developing a hidden, solitary, parallel work alongside his activity in Grande Days, accumulated in a series of home recordings that until 2018 only constituted a personal archive of experiments, searches, and findings. It is then, as a result of Grande Days' collaboration with Xabier Erkizia on "Mirande," that the latter proposes recording a solo album to give rise to this wonderful legacy. Thus begins a fruitful sonic epistolary relationship between them that over 6 years has been shaping and weaving those small patches into, for now, two beautiful pieces of celestial ambient, of a scope, depth, and emotion much more intense and prolonged than their little over 30 minutes might initially suggest.
Based on field recordings delicately intertwined with guitar textures and magnetic tape manipulations, Lluch's stylistic references evoke the memory of a distant storm that we hear sheltered, delighting and focusing solely on the beauty of its sound. Perhaps it reminds me of the exquisite recordings from labels like Kranky Records in the '90s and early 2000s, when post-rock was still the promise of an exciting future full of possibilities. But it's just a faint glimpse glimpsed through the fog. It is preferable to delve in, let oneself be enveloped, and enjoy it for oneself. A small gem to which I hope there will be continuity."
