The best Spanish débuts of the XXIst century (Part II)

Bisbal

We come to our second stop in the best national débuts. Did any of them sign the famous ready antipiracy? At least, a group of here present not only it did not do it, but it boasts otherwise. And others walk more worried on everything what they are triumphing out of Spain as one more discharge appears or one discharges less.

In any case, do not make to anger Bisbal, which also made debut in this century but has had to be content to continue heading one of nuetros posts, while it tries to imitate Robert de Niro of Taxi Driver. No, Bisbal, not, we do not speak to you, he keeps the finger - gun.

42. Pauline in the Beach – frog Thunderstorm

Pauline in The Flat Thunderstorm of Frogs What was a shy diversion, a divertimento with a name homage to the movie of Éric Rohmer, remained established in Thunderstorm of Frogs, a disc of début that came to us from the sisters Álvarez after the Undershakers dissolution.

Pop naïf, bossa aromas nongoes, folk it - fi and enclosed soul is what contains an album with which there was gained the interest of the specializing criticism. Pauline in the Beach they seem to have drunk of this inexhaustible source of ideas that is a Double Hemstitch, but here what we are it is to a duo that it dominates the Castilian language as few other names of his environment.

‘ It rolls heart ',' We are two 'or' smaller than a button ‘are some pieces of this small but big song book, to enjoy in the intimacy of the hearth in view of a few sails and the heat of an oil lamp. (Víctor)

A song: ‘Mab‘ (goear), the quintessence of the sound Pauline.

41. The Killer Swing – The Killer Swing (2003)

The Killer Swing Sometimes there is had the rare luck of seeing a good group since more maquetero is in his state until it begins giving the jump to wider publics. And to The Killer Swing different ways were already seen since the bars and places of Pamplona were exploring with a proposed where the Pixies had a lot to do (not in vain, there this peculiar version stayed of his We 'go'), but crossed by a trumpet and by a few influences more (the electronics, for example, that was doing of ‘Lehiotik‘ a balsam desubicado on a disc little given lowering the piston).

Psicodelia with the high revolutions, with a bit of Madchester somewhere here and over there that it would exploit later on two discs very different from that From my blood to your choppers it is the best.

A song: ' The Evangelist‘ (youtube), dance like the 'Waterfall' of Stone Roses, but with fire, stones and gasoline in the hand.

40. Plastic D'Amour – Olivia (2003)

Plastic Alberto Matesanz has revealed to himself in this decade like a composer to whom it seems forced to throw a glance. And part of fault had the intensity of little more than 30 minutes with which they made debut in format long Plastic D'Amour, which was already forcing you to turn the sight and to pay attention from the cascade of controlled noise of ‘Ajourd'hui‘, his song of opening.

When one takes French as an expressive way, it runs the risk of falling down in the trunk of the handled topics. But here, despite touching in several occasions that that many others have already done earlier (the yeyé 60s of our neighbors, with Françoise Hardy as spearhead), Plastic D'Amour prefers not to center on anything, what he finishes with benefiting and very much to a short and conscious disc of his limits. In how do they play with them without penetrating them there takes root big part of Olivia's delight, which later there would have a younger brother, Nicolás, also very advisable. (probertoj)

A song: ' Song and Books‘, placed almost at the end of the disc and giving a valuable Anglo-Saxon turn to a disc eminently French.

39. Templeton – Universal Exhibition (2009)

Templeton For me Templeton is ‘Brazil‘ and ‘Brazil‘ is Templeton. One of the best Spanish singles to that I have listened in the last years. Vitalist, contagious and energetic. With the increases in the suitable moment, with the tradition of good Pop of devastating refrain and with the riffs of this Rock that makes you dance to his rhythm.

Universal exhibition (2009, Subterfuge Records) only needs this single to be claimed, but just in case we do not have sufficiently they leave others to us like ‘The summer Houses And Winter’, ‘The Frog’ or the emotive one ‘The Earth De Los Pájaros’. (Natxo)

A song: ‘Brazil‘ (Youtube): who needs drugs to be happy?

38. Sibyl Vane – Jam of Tomato

Sibyl Vane - Jam of Tomato They were born inside the sound Riot Grrrl and the sign of being the Sleater-Kinney or the Bikini Spanish Kill. This Catalan trio was much more than that: it had humor, had under (Luciana), a drummer (Dew) and a guitar (Padi) and later they had the quality difficult to sign gait anthems for house that you could not take from yourself of the head.

Topics of the youth, fresh letters and basic melodies that in most cases were not even approaching to three minutes. Effervescence pop with rudeness. (Natxo)

A song: ‘Fungi‘ (youtube): the most difficult thing is to make to laugh.

37. Tachenko – Snow and Rescues (2004)

Tachenko Nieves and rescue Missing person in combat against the world The Child Worm, his split left two good news to us. The one that occupies us now is the one that there commanded Sergio Vinadé, the musician of the always present smile, which pop decided to keep on giving gone out for his needs with Tachenko. And if in The Child Worm to what it was giving priority was to wrap them of an unmistakable psychedelic air, in Tachenko what they all tried was to keep on putting golden letters to the book of the powerpop.

Perhaps that's why, for being theoretically less surprising, Snow and Rescues it lost part of those who were following in an unconditional way The Child Worm. It was unjust, as later an irreproachable trajectory demonstrates it, with discs as solid as The impossible moves or This life he asks for other one. But, especially, like good lovers of pop, where Tachenko practises of unbeatable centers, it is in the short distances, in the songs like the suns that separately are irresistible. (probertoj)

A song: 'Kind' (youtube): the guitars of the Byrds, the melancholy of Murmur, the braided members of Teenage Fanclub. Still today, a milestone of Spanish pop.

36. Knife – ST (2008) / Glamor to Kill – Musik pour The Ratas (2004)

Glamor To Kill Knife

Sometimes in the lists inexplicable coincidences happen. And it is better to make them like that, for much that let's want to break the deadlock or apply strict rules. Two proposals so different as Knife and Glamor To Kill might not coincide in almost at all, except in obtaining the same punctuation in the internal votings of the publishers of Hypersonic. Before a collision like that, the best thing was to stop that the universe was expanding and that in the list of 50 there was some place of more.

Knife, from his part, they practise of strange, Anglo-Saxon folk and there is the one who says that almost like a few Grizzly Bear or like some Animal Collective without euphoria desire. Precisely, something that yes Kill exceeds them to Glamor to: euphoria to give and to take in the proposal settled down in Berlin of Antonio Glamour and Luis Miguélez.

A song (two, in fact): ' Breathing Again (youtube) / ‘Clones Fashion (youtube)

35. The Telltales – it Has been this one

The telltales The Telltales are not The Nikis but they inherited the loutish spirit of these, not in vain, in his lines there is Joaquín Rodríguez, alma mater of Ramones de Algete. Along with him another veteran, Mauro Canut, ex-The Vegetables, Intronautas and the first Dinarama battery, more people of Baby Horror and Airbag.

It has been this one it is a gipsy, entertaining punk - rock, with ingenious letters and attic of glorious songs as Brad is North American, Adiós, telltale, farewell, It is a Christmas, filling Song or Six days in Copacabana.

They even surprise with a mini opera rock on a theft in called Copacabana ‘The armed robbery‘. The Telltales had come to remain, a pity that the group was not the priority of his component. (Víctor)

A song: ' Pirating Cds (youtube) (Víctor)

34. Of the Rose – M.O.S. (2004)

Julio de La Rosa The Man Bubble would not have to disappear of the way that did it, for the door of behind, without almost any recognition on the part of the public, and with the damned cartel of “group of cult”. After them, three big discs and that might be four if this one M.O.S. (2004, Recordings From The Other Side) turns out to be as such, since Julio De La Rosa was supporting the sound and subject-matter of La Paz He Is in the Mathematics (2002, RFTOS).

M.O.S. is the beginning of a big career alone that has the memories to the past (’Of not Seeing you‘) and topics foreseeing what would come in following álbumes, although the title still remembered EHB, like raisin in ‘Braile (the Second Part)‘. The independent Rock on the part of the beginnings of the 90 kept on being present in all the topics, providing them with a more direct character. (Natxo)

A song: ' The Monster never Sleeps (youtube): in the end the love is the only topic.

33. Standard – 3.000v 40.000w (2006)

Standard I do not even know the times that I will have said that if these five uncles were London instead of persons from Bilbao they would be in the highest thing and in the end I am going to have to eat up my own words because, in spite of everything, they are going to obtain it. The move of his second disc, and the step, has worked out for We Are The Standard perfect and with her they have just gained the award to the best European artist in the last MTV gala.

His début was precipitated. After gaining the Project Demo of 2005 and all those contests of mock-ups to which they were presenting urgent age to themselves to throw a disc with which to be able to move for all the stages of the country. The hurries are evident in the shape of errors, but also the freshness and the contagious optimism of a new band which only purpose is to enjoy and to start to all dancing.

There are precisely his direct ones with double battery (authentic holidays) his best letter of credence. The one that test repeats and it tells him to theirs who should accompany him, this way it is impossible not to triumph and not to be in this list of the best national débuts of the decade. (Koala)

A song: ' On The Floor (youtube), with her uncorked the bottle of which bubbles keep on going out.
