Las ondas sonoras, sol, agua y arena - El Compás


I've been getting a big fix of Delorean's (sorta old now) new album Subiza just in the last week or so.
It's this massive attack of disco/house/pop melding that is absolutely great. I really loved their Ayrton Senna EP, and Subiza carries it on but with a bit of refinement.
I'd describe them cheaply as a Catalonian Cut Copy. They go straight for the heartstrings with big soundscapes and play on the same disco pop vibe.
They're from Barcelona, Spain. Being near the Balearic Islands, I suppose a party vibe is only natural.

Anyway, just listening to their tunes gives me this big image of a white sand beach fading into the distance, and crowds of people playing volleyball, and swimming and all that junk. The sun's hovering about 500 metres above the beach and Subiza is pouring directly out of the centre of it. The people on the beach move to it. It's great. The water's this vivid blue.
I've never really had an urge to visit Spain, but I want to go now just to go to the same place that the band sat around in to write this music. It's got such a strong vibe to it, I feel the place must reflect the music.
