Two years after 'Fue Eléctrico', The Red Room He already has a new album ready for publication this February 3, with the title of 'The Coin in the Air'. One more step in the trajectory of the long-lived Valencian band who has always known how to adapt both to his current success and to the lean times. "We have always been in crisis, we are very mentally prepared," said its guitarist Pau Roca.
Despite that The Red Room He was on tour for a good part of 2013, Roca explains that already between concerts his vocalist and also guitarist, Jorge Martí, was composing songs and sending them to the rest of the group. "We have not shut ourselves up for a month to compose and record, not that", Roca has added. What the Valencian band has done on this occasion has been to record at the Rockfield studios in Wales, a gratifying experience for the quintet, since groups such as Queen, Black Sabbath, Teenage Fanclub, Undertones, Motörhead, Coldplay have passed through this place. or New Order.
«It's a bit of a mythomaniac experience because it's funny that Freddie Mercury did his 'Bohemian Rhapsody' on that same piano in front of you or that they recorded Black Sabbath there. But the interesting thing is that it is a studio that really sounds very good, with a first-rate team at our disposal for 24 hours. It was very nice.
Apart from their visit to Wales, the band also recorded in studios in Gandía (Valencia) and Sant Feliu de Guíxols (Girona). Eleven songs came out of these sessions, with titles like eleven songs: 'The coin in the air', 'De cine', 'So much to do', 'I don't want to be like you', 'The house in silence', 'Where no there is fear ',' You stay 'or' If you go '. Precisely the latter has been chosen as the first single from the album, and draws attention for being a melodic ballad that could well have been performed at the time by Levantine vocalists such as Camilo Sesto or Nino Bravo.
