If they missed “Your voice” we missed theirs more. The new single from Vera Fauna arrives to celebrate the return of the Sevillians, like that expected call that confirms that there is an album in the making and that it will be called “Tell me where we are.”
Quillo, we are lost. How are you? That we don’t know about each other. It is that voice that is truffled in a song that speaks to us face to face about the ties that unite us as human beings and its links with bands like Allah-Las, Jungle or Pata Negra. There is no better start for this new album that Vera Fauna also announces out loud. “It is the song that opens the album and the one that introduces its problems, talking about the links between people, how communication is delicate and is influenced by what happens, both in the world around us and in the skin inwards”. Kike, responsible for the lyrics of this next album whose title will be Tell me where we arealso gives us more clues about the song that kicks it off. That reunion of two friends separated in childhood and reunited years later. A true story but one that is also based on literary fiction. “For some reason I connected that whole story with ‘I’m Still Here’ by Maggie O’Farrell, which is a series of stories in which the author narrates situations in which she almost lost her life. In the book she details how relationships with others they were shaken by those situations in some cases, and in others they were key to sustaining their integrity and their life.
Once the story to tell was clear, it was necessary to add the soundtrack. “The music comes from an atypical moment in the venue, in which Álex, who is usually on keyboards, picked up the guitar and improvised a riff that in the end is the hook of the song. The first recording, made with the cell phone, It sounds like some Allah-Las who are having the worst Sunday of the year: sad and full of pachorra. Jungle had just released ‘Volcano’ and when we went back to work on the song, we proposed working on it from scratch, inspired by how ‘Back On 74’ walks, of that album. Suddenly, the album came to life and, almost without knowing it, we put on the table the mother concept on which we were going to be pivoting.
As you can see, Vera Fauna had a lot to tell. How good to hear your voice, how good to hear your voice
