QUE LARGO ES EL VERANO | VINYL RECORD (LP)

Linda Miranda, After a 12-year gap since the release of two albums and two EPs (with remixes by Nite Jewel, Simple Symmetry, Secret Circuit and The Phenomenal Handclap Band), Linda Mirada presents her new album 'Que largo es el verano', featuring a collaboration with North Satellite plus production and mixing by Darshan Jesrani, Bart Davenport and Daniel Collas. Linda Mirada's new album got off to an unforeseen start a few years ago: 'I'm going to record a single in Italian'. The phrase came out of a conversation between Ana and the label. To this day, the plan has still not been carried out, although everything could change at any moment. Along the way, Linda Mirada's first record in twelve years has materialized: 'Que largo es el verano'. It doesn't feature any songs in Italian, but it breathes the pop spirit of the early 80s in southern Europe with flashes of, indeed, Italo disco. The idea of recording a full album was born from a conversation with Daniel Collas (The Phenomenal Handclap Band) that opened an unexpected door. What began as an exchange about musical affinities activated in Ana the need to take up again a lot of ideas she had put aside. The vertigo of composing and recording music gave way to the pleasure of working on songs: time in the studio, necessary collaborators, stories that grew as they came into contact with melodies... All guided by intuition, fertile disorder, the complicity of those who crossed paths in the process and a few coincidences. The result is a sensational collection of songs that moves naturally between intimate hedonism and gentle melancholy. There are echoes of the most sophisticated sounds of the 80s, the candor of early electropop, influences of Mediterranean pop and splashes of disco. All with a fresh look, without indulging in nostalgia or cliches. 'Que largo es el verano' is a pop album made with joy and care. It channels Linda Mirada's influences into songs that shine with their own light. These seven tracks crystallize a very personal way of understanding music as an everyday space, where the production is not the main focus but with a lot of intention in each note and in each chosen sound. This album brings Linda Mirada back to the forefront of a little-trodden but absolutely necessary territory, that of Balearic pop made with sensitivity and elegance. Tracklisting: A1.
