Four years of waiting. Cafe Tacuba song released last week, which will be part of its eighth studio album. The song is called "A couple of places" theme with the electronic sound that experienced in Cuatro Caminos (2003) and still has its echoes in the object formerly disk (2012).
Return to work with Gustavo Santaolalla, its producer ever. The mastering was conducted by Tom Baker (Nine Inch Nails, Velvet Revolver, Zoé, Bajofondo) in Precision Mastering, and Luis Ledezma Children was the guest drummer.
"This is a song about the absence and how being in those two places, which are the mind with their thoughts and memories, and heart with feelings, we can overcome the pain of us," said Ruben Albarran, vocalist of the band, through a press release.
Joselo, guitarist, wrote about "A couple of places" in his weekly column published in the newspaper Of course, he did a heartfelt way, with greater capacity to expatiate beyond the precision required for a corporate note.
"Today our new song premiered a couple of places and it makes me remember all those who Café Tacuba first singles released with each album. The situation is a bit different now, because this time there is is a single song, and then others will come. They are at other times in the form of presenting new music, which leads us to seek the best way to meet our audience. We can talk about new technologies, but one thing never changes: the excitement generated show a song massively, share it with other ears, other souls, "he said before warning:" What follows is pure emotion: taste, disgust , love it or hate it generates a new song Cafe Tacuba. That's on that side, the listener, this side is pure adrenaline. Welcome!".
Joselo knows this song, style and lyrics bring discussion. In my opinion, it is not bad, but not surprising. As with the latest Radiohead album, this issue summarizes many of the sounds that have characterized Cafe Tacuba from Sino (2007).
Here are some reactions on Youtube:
Cosme:
Thank you Cafe Tacuba for what they were. Thank you for Café Tacuba, by Eclectic Re, the daring Revés / I am, to revive the past with good success Avalanche, pastel by Cuatro Caminos. Today no longer.
But since I think they are not what I want. I loved the Cafe Tacuba told stories through his songs, they were little stories, "Mary", "Ixtepec", "The Tlatoani the neighborhood," "Dance and Hall," "Battles", "Rarotonga" "Father", etc.
But since I find only rolitas "cool" and is father who want to take good vibe to the band, but not everyone Teddy Bear with dilated pupils.
I do not ask them to retell stories. I will only say: Thank you for what they were.
Communicative shock:
Actually I find no similarity to the new song with the themes of fate, the sound is more attached to what was done in the object formerly disk.
The new song is not even close to the best of Cafe Tacuba, I agree. If meme choirs have always seemed to me a bass in the songs I think now exaggerates.
What evolution is somewhat complicated. Backhand / I'm Four ways exist tremendous growth and change you said it was for teenagers. It puts it difficult evolution then.
I agree that fate and the object formerly disk are less compact, but good, but there is less equal contribution, a change in your search. I say find in the electronic-pop-rock something that is innovative at this point is impossible, and return to his previous stage four ways I do not think option progress, because although it is what makes them a unique and world - class group, and the contribution, the search is done.
We must wait the full record because at least there is always guarantee that a couple of gems always come;)
