The Madrid native Lazarus premieres with us “Azul Azul”, a song that marks the closing of his debut EP “Poppies and Heroin”.
From Madrid to heaven, Lázaro debuts with “Poppies and Heroin”, an EP marked by a life dedicated since he was 16 to self-taught production and lyrics as ironic as they are honest. With the cheapest guitar he found, the man from Madrid decides to leave the studio to tell us his story – marked by the loss of innocence and facing his reality – and show us that with few resources, one of the most interesting and best productions on the contemporary urban scene can be created.
With “ten grams in the eggs” marks the beginning of the EP in “Amigos Nuevos”, one of the most rhythmic songs of the work. It is followed by tracks like “Narciso”, an ode to the pain of beauty, “Tu Pelo Al Viento”, a powerful embrace of heartbreak with one of the best choruses on the album “And when you smoke on the terrace at home, those on the street believe they see God// The devil was inside that line, even more of a devil since I was the one who gave it to him” or “Morir de Pie”, marked by its dark and explosive distorted beat. The EP ends with “Diez de Diciembre”, a social critique of the system whose acoustics are reminiscent of that naive and dark mix of singer-songwriter Daniel Johnston.
The sound universe of the album is not limited to the six songs presented on “Poppies and Heroin”. Today we exclusively present the final touch of the EP “Azul, Azul”, an enveloping and distorted melody that transports us to the most danceable pop on the internet in a matter of seconds while it is torn apart and repositioned as a voice with a marked social nature. A voice with which to dance in the face of sadness and injustice.
