Pascal Comelade, known for his unique and experimental approach to music, teams up with Cobla Sant Jordi to deliver a captivating album that blends traditional Catalan folk music with modern, avant-garde arrangements. Recorded in March 2011 at the intimate "Casa Pepe" studio in Barcelona's Gràcia neighborhood, this collaboration showcases Comelade's original compositions, masterfully arranged for cobla (a traditional Catalan instrumental ensemble) by Bernat Castillejo.
The album, released on September 12, 2011, under DiscMedi S.A., is a testament to the rich musical heritage of Catalonia, reimagined through Comelade's distinctive lens. With a runtime of 42 minutes, the album features 10 tracks that seamlessly weave together elements of Catalan folk, toy pop, and tango, creating a soundscape that is both familiar and refreshingly innovative.
From the playful "The Skatalan Logicofobism" to the hauntingly beautiful "Petita Escena Nocturna," each track offers a unique glimpse into Comelade's eclectic musical world. The album also includes a music video for the track "Patafisiskal Polska," providing a visual complement to the enchanting melodies.
Whether you're a longtime fan of Pascal Comelade or a newcomer to his work, this album promises a delightful exploration of sound and tradition, making it a standout addition to any music collection.
