Everytime I go back to Desayuno Continental I regret not giving it a much higher rating, but I guess that's one of the many drawbacks regarding ratings. Good thing this is only a blog, and we get chances to redeem ourselves in some way or another, I'm hoping to do so by including their single "Bañadores" into our features. It's my second favorite piece from Extraperlo's first album, which also includes the orgasmic "Las Palmeras del Amor" and a bunch of very cool beach-ready chants circling around El Guincho's tricky pop allies including [...]
Ah, the Mediterranean 20JFG dude is back, Felix! We love it when he digs in old record shops of Habana for us, but also when he lets us know what crazy shit is going down in Spain right now. Which is fucking cool stuff by the way- check it out ...
I've taken some much needed time away from the shadows of Chicago's skyline, cavorting off to the West for a few days in Las Vegas and now, LA. It's sunny, I'm all smiles and in some lovely ironic twist the internet only works while sitting outside. It's been a wonderfully self-reflective trip and I've had the perfect soundtrack the past few days thanks to Barcelona quintet Extraperlo . Disco is a term that most definitely applies to the music of Extraperlo, but not the disco belonging to club nights and famous DJs. Spanish lyrics and breezy, [...]
mp3: extraperlo - bañadores this song is nominally about swimwear and i hear a mention or two of "la playa" in there (this is about as far as my spanish takes me), so my first impression of "bañadores" was of a carefree summer jam. watching the video now though, i wonder if there might be something more going on here? like what is up with that woman turned little girl? what happened with tiger mask boy in the dark that she does not want to play super mario bros. 3? it's a mystery. [...]
Extraperlo, a quartet based in Barcelona that play dreamy 80's melodies and tropical soft-beats. Extraperlo have been compared to El Guincho (El Guincho contributed on their debut album "Desayuno Continental" and Aleix Clavera performs with El Guincho on tour) but their sound is more carefree and more reminiscent of their hometown. You can now download and listen to their new single – "
Doy, I am stupid busy today... so here's something quick and cheery from the mailbox; Barcelona Spain's Extraperlo is a more upbeat version of El Guincho. Click here for a 7 inch that Extraperlo did with Ruby Suns. More to come later! Extraperlo: Bañadores.mp3
The first video from Extraperlo, whose debut release Desayuno Continental gets a whole lot better during the summer. I was hoping to see a video for their first single "Las Palmeras del Amor", but they decide to give "Bañadores" a chance and I must say, this is my second favorite video of the year, just after Alexico's bloody and religiously codified video for "Mis amigos y yo te amamos." I love the non-linear narrative of the video, the bleak sensitivity from director Oriol Barbera and specially the video's ability to defy time and age. All that [...]
El tropicalismo pop de Extraperlo por fin se hace presente visualmente con "Bañadores" , primer sencillo de su álbum debut Desayuno Continental (Mushroom Pillow, 2009). Dirigido por Oriol Barberá, el video es una representación nostálgica de algún verano en los noventa donde un par de niños juegan a las escondidas dentro de algún club deportivo.

YO! Demasiado tiempo sin postear, pero es que estamos haciendo el siguiente disco de Delorean y vamos muy muy muy de CULO . De todas maneras, os prometo que la semana que viniera intentaré contribuir más, ya que estaremos en el estudio. Acabo de descubrir el nuevo videoclip de "BAÑADORES" , primer single extraído de ese gran álbum debut DESAYUNO CONTINENTAL (entra directo a la lista de lo mejor del año) de EXTRAPERLO . Aparte de ser los más majos del mundo, tocan guay y tienen grandes canciones, así [...]
EN LA CAMA CON ANNTONA, ANNTONA Gramaciones Grabofonicas, Spain ***1/2 Rating: 70 By Carlos Reyes Is it me, or is Spain's pop transitioning to a weird level of psychedelic bump? As soon as authors realized that they can share their songs without having a good voice, now there is this big group of guys imposing the popular demand for [...]

Wir freuten uns auf das erste Open-Air-Konzert der Saison in entspannter Atmosphäre direkt am Meer und fanden uns vor einer Bühne in einem charmefreien Saal neben H&M und Starbucks wieder. Das Maremagnum ist ein riesiges, hauptsächlich von Touristen frequentiertes Einkaufszentrum im Hafen von Barcelona, dort findet dieses Wochenende das La Plaça Odissea-Festival statt. Der erste Abend stand ganz im Zeichen einheimischen Schaffens. A Band Called Valero (Bild) aus Barcelona, die früh und vor wenig Publikum spielen mussten, hätten mit ihrem Indiepop genau meinen Geschmack getroffen. [...]

DESAYUNO CONTINENTAL, EXTRAPERLO Mushroom Pillow, Spain *** 1/2 Rating: 77 By Carlos Reyes Extraperlo is the latest band coming out of Spain dressing pop with tropicalia and thinking vocals should not overtake or suspend its surroundings. They follow the sun and breeze of El Guincho's Alegranza! , the ideals of Coconot's Cosa Astral , and the techno emblematic of Joe [...]
Our comrade Felix Ruiz from Discoteca Oceano has written us a post with some excellent new wave of Spanish balladry, it's super-sweet stuff you should thank him for in the mail-box below. Felix is looking for that special someone who will design the new logo for Discoteca Oceano, so if ...
