Juan y La Hormiga: show at the Fira Foios Festival in València

Argentinian singer-songwriters Juan Pablo Mazzola and María Mathe are performing at the Fira Foios Festival in their hometown València on May 15. They named their EP after the city: "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."

Juan y La Hormiga: "Cupid's Arrow" video

Argentinian singer-songwriters Juan Pablo Mazzola and María Mathe have made a video for Cupid's Arrow, a track from their València EP: "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."

Juan y la Hormiga: València

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.

Juan y la Hormiga: After The War

Juan Pablo Mazzola and María Mathe have teamed up for an album that was inspired by the Spanish city València, their current place of residence. Lead single After The War serves as a first taste. It is a hybrid of power pop and Americana that came out quite well, with optimism getting the better of pessimism in the end. Their voices fit together seamlessly, so getting the harmonies right was easy.
