INDIENELLA: DEBUT ALBUM OUT NOW!!!

About Me

Indienella (a pun on the name of a very cheesy 80’s "romantic" male/female duo from Argentina called Pimpinela) is a pop duo from Northern Spain -- Sofia is from Leon and Luis is from Gijon. We started writing and recording songs towards the end of 2005. Our goal is to make fun, catchy, meaningful bubblegum lo-fi garage pop -- you tell us if we are on the right track... After over a year of having here only the songs recorded in April 2006 (our first demo can still be downloaded from last.fm), we now present 4 of the 10 songs we recorded in September 2007, rough mixes of tracks included in their final versin in our self-released debut album produced by Rafael Martínez del Pozo (La Jr, AA Tigre). The album (official release date is April 1, 2008) is available in a limited numbered edition of 500 LPs, directly from us at 12 euros each plus shipping costs. This is the new sound of Indienella, just the two of us -- a bit rawer, but we hope you like it. We are particularly happy about our cover of The Great Depression’s "Ruining the carpet" -- to find out more about this obscure Southern California band please go to The French Semester’s myspace, link is beneath. Hey! We wanna tour!!! (Photo credit: guitar photos by Lucía Rivero; t-shirt photos by Cristina Pedreira; sporty photos by Amalia Ulman. Videoclip credit: "Noche de los muertos vivientes" by Lucía Rivero and Cristina Pedreira. Indienella live at Louie Louie footage by Pepe Balmaseda.) P.S. WE NOW HAVE 2 KINDS OF INDIENELLA T-SHIRTS!!! Tambourine logo and German Shepherds logo! AND THE ALBUM IS AVAILABLE NOW! (A QUICK TIP: IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON ORDERING VINYL IN EUROPE ASK AT ELDORADO-MEDIA IN GERMANY FIRST!!! THEY ARE THE BEST!!!)
