Biography

Band À Part consists of Javi Román and Coral Rodríguez. Influenced by the Nouvelle Vague of Godard and Gainsbourg, but also by J. D. Salinger and the twee-pop of Sarah Records, and by Stereolab, The Beach Boys and The Love Generation. Their debut Single No Sé Por Qué is released in 2010. They show to be great successors to the Spanish pop from sixties, bands like Picnic and Formula V, but at the same time taking bands like Belle & Sebastian, La Casa Azul or Niza as references. Una Persona Normal Con Gafas De Metal contents four songs with marvelous arrangements that remind us of Sambassadeur, Club 8 and Camera Obscura, mixing hope and melancholy. After a slow 2012 with only two songs ("Cascabel" and Donde Todo Sigue Igual) released the band is back in 2013 with La Aventura Original. A release that celebrates Band À Part’s best qualities: light, agile songs; high energy; so many influences that showcase their extensive musical culture; and intelligent, emotional lyrics. Maravillas De La Ciencia is a compilation of their last recordings and even a few previously unreleased tracks as little gifts. In 2020 the group is back with Templos Y Neones. An album that inevitably breathes a fusion of cultures and references, which makes listening to it tremendously fun and stimulating. This time, they talk about City Pop, eighties, disco or synth-pop, about vapor wave and future funk. References to groups like Cornelius, Snail's House, Spazzkid, Roosevelt or Summer Camp.
