About Me

'SAFE AND SOUND' (español) "He asistido a mi propio crujido, a mi cierta reinvención, con eco del pasado pero retumba en una sima diferente, fruto de la inspiración, de un encuentro fortuito con mi hada madrina, de la ingesta de yogures fermentados, quién sabe. He viajado por casi todos los lados de la luna, pero al final de ese viaje mi equipaje ya no fue el mismo nunca más, mis huellas pararon en algún sitio que no llego a recordar con seguridad, pero me sentía sano y salvo. Me vi como un crooner imposible, porque siempre me he hecho un poco el tonto o me paso de listo. O a lo mejor de eso se trata".

I have traveled all around most sides of the moon, but at the end of that trip my luggage was not exactly the same anymore, my footprints stopped somewhere I can’t figure out precisely, but I felt safe and sound. I saw myself as an impossible crooner, because I use to play dumb or I’m to clever by half. Or maybe that’s all about".

Sounds Like: "Join a young Spanish troubadour by the name of R — whose soon-to-expire visa is the least of his problems — as he roams the American frontier in search of love and his missing guitar. Along the way he is brutalized by aassorted post-punks and freak folks (or is that folk freaks?), kidnapped by ravers, and forced to sign a particular onerous contract by despicable industry types who plan to exploit his apparent naivité; finally young R is swept up into a Head-trip finale that makes Liquid Sky look like Romper Room. Now about that guitar..." VILLAGE VOICE :: "The debut UK release from Spanish singer-songwriter Remate is a 25-song magical mystery tour focused on quirky, fractured alt-country sketches, but also taking in falsetto pop (Dinosaurs), echo-laden self-duets (One-Eyed Land) and backwards samples (Out Of Your Skin)." UK PRESS ASSOCIATION **** :: "...'Kitty and her Beautiful Lady' offers laid-back prettiness, 'Firefly' is skittish fun, while 'Dinosaurs' and 'Love at First Sight' suggest an off-kilter Sufjan Stevens...." THE SUNDAY TIMES *** :: "...Remate boasts a soulfully croaky voice and a prodigious capacity for spare, fragile, elegantly wonky tunes. The 25 songs span the spectrum from rousing..." UNCUT MAGAZINE *** :: ...Both albums, Bird and Beetle, showcase his broad talents. Head to the music box waltz of 'Love At First Sight'. Celestial Choirs? The standout fact about Remate is his voice..." NEW MUSICAL EXPRESS
