Clem Snide / Blueberry Hill

A: 16,00 euros (Kafe Antzokia, Power records). T: 18,00 euros.

La banda Clem Snide parte de los sonidos tradicionales norteamericanos y, con toques jazz llega más alla del estilo Americana, añadiendo melancolía y guitarras pop a la inspiración Country. El grupo dirigido por Eef Barzelay nos presentará su quinto trabajo, "The End Of Love". Con ellos tendremos a los catalanes Blueberry Hill.

At various points since its inception in 1991, Clem Snide has played gently winsome country music accompanied by a cello, noisy rock punctuated with a squawking saxophone, and sincere love ballads incorporating strings, horns, glockenspiels, and more. Bandleader Eef Barzelay has written songs about love, death, faith, fashion, and pop-cultural detritus—often simultaneously—with wry warmth and wordplay that never stoops to cleverness for cleverness’ sake. Five albums into a career that’s combined uncommon versatility with reassuring consistency, Barzelay and his bandmates return with End Of Love, an album that combines all of their best tendencies, mixing empathy and wit, rock and country, and keen insights on matters great and small.

Now armed with his own studio space in Nashville (Clem Snide’s members are split evenly between Nashville and Brooklyn, where multi-instrumentalist Pete Fitzpatrick and his bassist cousin Brendan Fitzpatrick remain), Barzelay seems more comfortable than ever turning chaos into chemistry.

Hora: 21:30
