about

Nota de premsa (2003)

Més electrònica i més rock’n’roll. Això és el que ofereix el segon elapé de Holland Park: Things were easier when we played music!

Coincidint amb l’arribada del grup a Barcelona, el so de Holland Park ha evolucionat sensiblement. El nou disc és més cru i dur, com es pot descobrir en cançons com Do you love everybody or do you hate everyone o l’estroboscòpica Run away from here. Un món urbà, més fosc però igual de divers i sorprenent que el seu debut, del que mantenen un gran treball en les melodies.

Al nou disc de Holland Park hi caben des del pop electrònic de Game over o Our saints were there fins la distorsió bruta de Do you love everybody or do you hate everyone o Fire. Amb Summer bugs es riuen dels White Stripes amb les seves pròpies armes.

En aquest segon assalt, Holland Park ha liquidat la secció rítmica per donar veu a les màquines. Com van demostrar al Primavera Sound, no els cal bateria per oferir un directe demolidor. Aguanta només el nucli dur de la banda, amb Jaume Pla i Paco Jordi a les guitarres i Ritchie Álvarez al teclat. Entre ells s’ha imposat la democràcia: tots componen i tots canten. Tot i que el disc està autoproduït, en el resultat final es nota la masterització de Pau Arumí, col·laborador habitual de l’escuderia BankRobber.
