Flash Your Ass

PERLITA is the diminutive of a surname invariably associated with the music world: Perles. Pedro Perles, frontman of Ledatres, wingman of Paco Loco, the acoustic guitar behind Bigott, multidisciplinary artist and full-time human being, is embarking on a new project alongside two other key figures on the Spanish scene, Calde Ramírez and Esteban Perles.

The project, named (you guessed it!) Perlita, is a gem, a flower, a minimalist challenge, and a colossal act of audacity all at the same time. It's pop thoroughly electrified and electrifying, with catchy melodies, melancholic dubstep and a real sense of humour, made to make you dance. It’s a sudden burst of sounds from another era, created for the ears of the future. It's bodily sounds made for the life and soul of the party.

That's the reason why many different influences live together on Cangrejo Yeti, much in the way different opinions need to stand next to each other (and get along well) in a literary essay. It's like Talking Heads meeting Spandau Ballet backstage at Jean Michael Jarre’s show. It's new wave, but coming from Cádiz on the shrimp boat. It's Jon Brion hanging his wet sheets on a rooftop in a harsh east wind. It's music for Spectrum with some extras for Amstrad. It's harmonies kept inside until the three of them get on stage and share them with the world, their hands full and their lungs out. And most of all, it's our chance to understand that electronic music is now part of everything. It hears everything, it sees everything, and it says everything.

Caballo Rojo es el nombre del segundo disco de Perlita, que según un periodista británico es “como unos Hot Chip con Freddie Mercury al frente”. El trio gaditano ha despachado un trabajo gigante, que tiene mucho hot, tiene mucho down y tiene mucho tempo. En Caballo Rojo suenan pop, ecos de la música popular andaluza, cajas de ritmos, voces japonesas, sintetizadores y versos de Juan Ramón Jiménez, entre otras muchas cosas.

No hay caballos rosas en el infierno…

Caballo Rojo (“red horse”) is the second album by Perlita, a band from Cádiz, Spain, once described by a British critic as “a Hot Chip fronted by Freddy Mercury”. For the follow-up to their 2016 debut Cangrejo Yeti (“yeti crab”), the threesome have come up with a titanic piece that, mood-wise, jumps around and gallops between pop, flashes of Andalusian folkloric music, drum machines, Japanese voices, synths and verses by Spanish poet and Nobel Prize laureate Juan Ramón Jiménez, among many other things.
