Find a Fiend was born as Eduardo Carrasco's solo project. The necessity to shape various songs of his authorship in an album made him consider his ex partner in the dissolved band Sinestesia, Pepe Lastarria, as the producer. The long time friendship and his independent experience in the same position (Rama, Drogatones, Humana, Aeroplano, among others) were key factors in the choosing of the sound sculptor. An album that wasn't quite exempt from complications and creative twists but that finally saw the light in August 2008. A record of a creative and learning process for both of them that culminates in 10 independently produced tracks, under the wing of “La Somba Records” and represented visually by Chris Leskovsek from “Nada Means Nothing” (Octopus, The Datsuns, Reel Big Fish, Poison the Well, Divina, among others).

Taking into consideration the ever growing competitivity in the musical offer and the –not so- new media for file sharing, Carrasco chooses to deliver, free of charge, a full album download in various websites. Faithful to his beliefs that a bigger exposure is the key for bigger audiences, Find a Fiend gives you their debut album, enjoy and make your voice be heard.

Find a Fiend nace como un proyecto solista de Eduardo Carrasco. La necesidad de plasmar en una obra fonográfica una serie de canciones de su autoría lo lleva a considerar a su ex compañero de la disuelta banda Sinestesia, Pepe Lastarria, como el productor de dicho LP. La larga amistad entre ellos y la experiencia independiente en ese cargo del segundo (Rama, Drogatones, Humana, Aeroplano, entre otros) fueron claves a la hora de elegir al encargado de esculpir la faena sonora. Una obra que no estuvo exenta de complicaciones y giros creativos pero que finalmente en Agosto del 2008 vio la luz. Registro de un proceso creativo y de aprendizaje tanto para Carrasco como Lastarria que culmina en 10 cortes, producidos 100% de manera independiente, bajo el alero de “La Somba Records” y representados visualmente por Chris Leskovsek de “Nada Means Nothing” (Octopus, The Datsuns, Reel Big Fish, Poison the Well, Divina, entre otros).

Tomando en cuenta la creciente competitividad en la oferta musical y los –ya no tan- nuevos soportes para compartir música, Carrasco opta por ofrecer, de manera gratuita, la descarga del disco completo en diversas plataformas web. Fiel a su creencia que una mayor exposición en Internet es clave para atraer a una, a su vez, mayor audiencia, Find a Fiend les entrega su obra debut, disfrute y haga escuchar su voz.

Nothing scheduled for now.
