Monologo Interior

It's finally in our hands, after that appetizer of Mr. Shoji danceable hit with Jamaican airs, Rockdelux magazine's best song of 2009), the highly anticipated second disc by Single, the group led by Teresa Iturrioz and Ibon Errazkin. And now that we've got the disc in our hands, we can say that we are holding the most complete, consistent, enduring and highest achieving disc of their career. Saying something like that, in Teresa and Ibon's case, is saying quite a lot. Anyone who knows the cult-following they had fronting LE MANS will find some clues on this disc that connect this mythical past to the splendorous future that has opened up before them with this new project. If Po Po, Single's first album, was a collecting of songs written over a period of years, experimenting with new formats, rhythms and programs, and forging a new path with their untiring curiosity, Monlogo interior is a more classic and compact album, without a conceptual story but definitely with a more intimate focus, even introspective on occasions. The album has an abundance of images that evoke feelings of loss and nostalgia and it is less decidedly rhythmic.
