Release Notes:
Inside the spanish underground, Qualude is a group
that keep us, from his birth in 1999, in permanent
state of expectation. Appear and disappear of the
map when they desire, with the peculiarity of
leaving us "with the candy in the mouth", with
desire of more and wondering when we will be able to
turn them to listening. After his adventures with
his previous group, Porfideo Ruborosa, with whom
they realized a state tour together with the
mythical belgians Quetzal, they began with Qualude
with the plan of leaving the evidence, the obvious
thing of the indie rock and to centre on his
instrumental part, to penetrate into his complexity
and to bring over to the experimental rock or
post-rock. And they did it so well that turned not
only into the "flagship" of the 13 Grabaciones label
(Alicante) but into the maximum exponent from the
Alicante's underground and one of the most famous of
Valencian's in general. After his brilliant debut
homonym in 2001, his memorable tour of presentation
along the state together with Engine Down, his
classification for the final part of the Contest
Villa De Bilbao and his remembered show in the Mecca
of the followers of the genre, the Sant Feliu Fest
of 2002, they decide to leave his activity as group
and to devote to the personal housekeeping, the
absence makes feel. But the popular clamor is too
tight, and in 2004 they decide to be reactivated,
not without adding a new return of nut to his music:
The voice enters scene, it's like one more
instrument and not as a leiv motiv of a few
compositions that continue penetrating into
instrumentation. The trumpet, present from the
beginning, receives now more felt that in a melodic
projection. The just balance among experimentation
and intelligibility, recharging less, stopping to
breathe and wrapping everything of a worrying but
fragile atmosphere. The reason of his restlessnesses
and this wonderful " The order of the things "
(BCore, 07), a wise mixture of direct influences
(June of 44, Slint, Shipping News, Smart Went
Crazy), combined with Spacemen's 3 atmospheric
influence or the Velvet Underground, and with the
devotion going to Charles Mingus, Chet Baker or
Miles Davis. The whole fan of sensibilities gathered
by other three qualified sensibilities: those of
these three musicians who take the rock avantgardist
to another level, but not to be mixed by the baroque
thing, intellectual and snob, but everything
opposite: to express his simplicity with the
simplicity of a battery, a guitar and a bass,
prolongations of his brains and his extremities.
