Las Resenas Casuales. La Habitacion Roja "La Moneda En El Aire"

La Habitacion Roja "La Moneda En El Aire" (p)2014 Mushroom Pillow

This is a short story rather than a review.

In the very end of September'2013 me and my mujer Tanya were standing on the top of el Teide, the sleeping volcano for whom the isle of Tenerife should say 'thank you' for this isle's mere existence. The day was mostly sunny and we could see the 4 more isles around in the waters of Atlantic ocean, but on the top of the mountain the velocity of the wind was around 46 kms per hour and it was really cold. Our clothes were not intended for such the conditions, so we had a little time to spend there. But when we were only climbing up the mountainside one of our intentions was to sing some song on the top.

This idea sounded pretty beautiful: two people in love with each other, in love with Tenerife, toda la Espana and the local rock music being standing upon the highest mountain of Spain and singing the great song in Spanish. The song was not chosen in advance, though.

The previous day we met Noe Ramirez from Pumuky and spent an hour with him, so [the song penned by the local Tenerifian band] 'Los Enamorados' could be a good choice to sing. But it was so cold out that the words came into my mouth suddenly, and the words were: "Si tu y yo eramos tan felices, si tu y yo eramos indestructibles". We shouted them out several times and then started climbing down. So one of the emblematic moments in our life was marked by La Habitacion Roja's song.

The new album is the logical successor of the previous effort, "Fue Electrico" - to the point where it could be named "Fue Electrico Pt. 2". Recorded in the famous Rockfield Studios by the band teamed up again with the producer Santi Garcia, the whole album seems to be carefully grown up from 'Ayer', the song which was chosen The Song Of The Year by many Spanish mass media two years ago. So, if you liked "Fue Electrico" much, the new album is the fruit for you.

The best tracks: La Moneda En El Aire, No Quiero Ser Como Tu, Si Tu Te Vas (Magnifica Desolacion)
