Argentinian singer-songwriters Juan Pablo Mazzola and María Mathe teamed up for an EP inspired by the Spanish city València, their current place of residence. It is a careful mix of elements of power pop and alt-country, a seamless sonic trip that ends way too soon. It is about love, while the world is raging outside their bubble. Naive? Prone to bouts of escapism? Well, sure, but also offering the comfort that the power of finding a true connection is the best medicine while trying to cope.
Melancholy, beauty and a subtle sense of humour are the key ingredients of this batch of songs. And since València is a city of many faces - and most of them rather fetching, it is perfectly feasible that they will come up with a second helping in the near future. Cupid's Arrow could not have picked better spot to hit its mark.
València is a self-released EP. Buy it from their website. Also available via Exile Records.
