Pampered by critics since its inception, the band led by Enric Montefusco Catalan, Standstill, has managed to place its melodramatic pop and experimental in the names of independent music reference. This week offered three consecutive concerts in Madrid before joining Barcelona in an artistic project of the Miro Foundation.
What are you going? We are the sum of many things. We started 13 years ago in the underground hardcore punk scene in Barcelona, but after many changes, today we are closer to the folk sounds of pop, rock, experimental music ... The term 'indie' is distorted, it needs to invent a new word then I hung the label 'indie'.
What does that term mean to today? Today the term is very distorted. Began with clear connotations, referring to the formations that were outside of canals and 'industry', in the worst sense of the word. Now it is becoming a label aesthetic. Encompasses not only those working independently, but those who make a certain type of music, which is much more superficial.
When we call 'indie', we like to qualify what we mean. It needs to invent a new word! The music press continues to commend. And the public? Yes, the attention of critics can not complain. From the beginning there were many awards (in 2001, Mondo Sonoro magazine chose his CD The Ionic Spell as the best country album of the year and in late 2009, chose as the best work Vivalaguerra national of the decade).
But it was not until 2007, after publishing Vivalaguerra, when we noticed more interest from the public. This has continued to grow until now. I think it was key to this change of language in the letters, we ignore the bet on the English and Castilian. And we started to produce our own records.
What does desktop publishing? We were able to control the process to the end and thus a better product, more rounded. Although it has a high price, requires much dedication and care of specific tasks that are not a musician. Anyway, it's worth: we are our own bosses and have no mortgage to anyone.
We like to give our lives value 'performant' Do you mind the comparisons with Vetusta Morla, or believe that the success of this band has benefited Standstill? The groups we influence each other. We started before them, but we must not give this much importance. Let's hope they go well, that benefits us all, we are in the same boat.
In fact, we're friends. They say that their live are 'multidisciplinary experience. " What is offered in 'rooom'? 'Rooom' is the interpretation of our last album, Forward Bonaparte, but coupled with a great stage work and television. It's a concert, but it's also like going to the movies and going to a musical.
Somehow, we like to give our lives a touch performant. That does not mean we want to sell more than our reality, but it is fragile and precarious. We like to offer close, not sell too glamorous. • This week will act on 7, 8 and 9 in the Teatro Fernando de Rojas, at the Circulo de Bellas Artes de Madrid.
Time: 21.00. Price: 20 euros. More information on his website.
