Sono assolutamente d'accordo con i tuoi paragoni. Leonard Cohen è un grosso punto di riferimento per me...non a caso l'artwork di Devoted si ispira parzialmente a quello di Death Of A Ladies Man di Cohen. Inoltre, adoro sia Portishead che Massive Attack. Ciò che ha portato a questo parziale spostamento verso l'elettonica è stata la decisione di dotarsi di un computer, di protools e di un controller per tastiera; essere quindi improvvisamente in grado di registrare musica nel mio soggiorno di casa con a disposizione una miriade di differenti sonorità.

For a pledge of $50 or more (which we're calling the "Fan Gift Pack"), a gift recipient of your choice gets a signed copy of the 7" with their name listed in the "thank you" section, a signed copy of the "I'm Still Free" CD, one signed copy each of Josh's 2004 solo CD EP "Light of Day" and Josh's 2007 solo CD "Devoted", and a personal note written to the recipient by Josh himself.

Many of you have already made pledges towards the 7" and your help is much appreciated.

Led by singer/bassist Josh Haden (son of jazz bassist Charlie Haden), Spain were among the best of the so-called slo-core outfits to arrive on the underground-pop scene of the mid-’90s, joining the ruminative ranks of Red House Painters, American Music Club, and Low, among others.

When I threw the disc on last night I knew nothing but the Haden pedigree, and was quite surprised to find, after the first two rather nondescript tunes, lurking, furtive beauty and mystery in the ruminative slow-burn alt-rock tradition of Cowboy Junkies, Mazzy Star, Luna, American Music Club, Tindersticks, the Church, with a tablespoon of jazzy confessionalist Michael Franks thrown in for good measure - quite extraordinary. - Blog Critics

Everyone can relate to a broken heart. Few artists can articulate the feeling of a broken heart better than Spain.

This is an album that simply exudes swankiness and style. No, let me rephrase that. This is an album that is swankiness and style. Evoking moods of smoke-filled lounges, martinies, velvet suits, and beautiful, sultry women, The Blue Moods Of Spain is about as good as it gets. - Opus
