Scribble, singer and guitarist Gustavo Leon has traced the route of Jiminelson with nerves of steel. Solidity "Serendipity Vol.1", the third album of the project, distilled in his half-times of sharply sloping soul. During most of 2010, Jiminelson was recently announcing the departure of "Serendipity", their third album and the continuation of the acclaimed Amor del Rey. In all the months passed, the duo that was once became a soloist, but one that insists on preaching the power of teamwork and, occasionally, speaks in first person plural. It Gustavo Leon, singer and guitarist of imprinting awkward on stage, inside the studio and in interviews. Musical effects in the CD credits, his name appears as Leon Capdeville, an alter ego reality-based because it uses the last name of the musician. Launched
via Italia 90, the latest installment of this project is presented as the first volume of two volumes that meet, rather than musical logic, a particular mood that left its bias in a list of new songs. This initial plate exhibits a full introduction to the doctrine of soul, a genre that Leon says that "it is not named for nothing, is mid tempo and torn." And so is the battery of items that make up the work, produced by Simon Cox (member of the dissolved Usual) and recorded mostly in Buenos Aires.
Jiminelson Passing impregnated by Argentina left a trail bohemia in the sound of LP, the same ink that stains the legacy of bands like Pappo's Blues trasandinos or semi-Iberian Los Rodríguez. "There is a spirit that was completed was extinguished when the Chinese, it was my last bastion of humor, though I tried to keep that attitude that nothing ends up being so bad, even though the songs are not necessarily dance, "says the vocalist on the internal situation of the group. The departure of drummer ended the alliance founder, who was born in the heyday of national indie rock in the middle of the last decade.
"I am surprised that people like Jiminelson, when things are out, and I do not like much, sold half the records on the day of performance at the Teatro Huemul was not a very big issue, but the bulk of the run went. Other people have ordered online and now I intend to be in more parties. Selling them is not so complicated. I did it with "Turbo" (the first EP, whose full name is "Jiminelson Turbo Special Edition Demo Player"), and now that "Serendipity" is of Italy 90, was most entertaining yet. Launch material is a more sensible to do with external agents, though it requires great discipline to take it forward because it is something that has become more complicated as well, "said Gustavo León.
already said the musician in 2008, in an interview with POTQ.cl site, as it released its second album, "Love the King": "Beyond supporting the concept of DIY (do it yourself), I prefer The Just Do It (just do it). Give him and see what happens, because it is understood that nobody will do it for you. " The whole route has set this project in its six years of life, from his appearance with a more dirty and under the eaves of the CFA (Autonomous Phonographic Corporation, the label founded by Fiskales Ad-Hok), has been hand-drawn appeal. A methodology and fruits, involves costs that weigh on the self-critical assessment of his protagonist. "Now I have wanted to partner with a studio to have a more equal workplace. I've never felt comfortable in any party where I have recorded, but when I get pregnant, hence very good will " predicts.
Despite the confession of the singer, its portfolio has gained wide acceptance by an exponential improvement in album after album, which left up to the plate on several counts before year-end national and that he foresees a promising development in the two volumes of Serendipity. " A significant fraction of that progress is given by the constant activity in vivo Jiminelson facing. "What I like is playing. Not that I go easy, it took me years of my life, not only dedication but everything. But if the songs were bad, would not make any effort. I see the videos of the shows and can not remember were or how they spent because there are always variations. In the stage is the mess, we played eight people at a time, but there is a common power and everyone knows what it is to be there, put their heart. It's like conducting an orchestra. I feel that is what I do best, "said Gustavo León.
frontman's devotion to the cause even concerts, ignoring old internal feuds, to share the stage with Andrew "Chino" Villarroel, his former drummer stable, months after they agreed to split ways. "We met the day before the launch and played together at the concert. With it I can really talk about Jiminelson. All right. We both knew that no one would care So we keep personal things and stayed with the music. Life is too short to be bogged down. What interests us are the songs. Also, I invite you to whom I please, ditch categorical. Lately, the group's concerts is common to find Daniel Pimentel (former Canal Magdalena) on bass, Simon Cox on keyboards and Giovanni Colecchi (Silvestre) on drums.
Without worrying about the ravings of trends, or the opinions of the box office, Gustavo León kept intact their convictions and try to stay at the height of circumstances. "Jiminelson has become the coolest and least cool in the same month. That story I know her. What really interests me is to have a background, that intelligent people can sit with me and there is a link. "Serendipity" We did pretty to be sold and we named him to be understood to imply that beauty and not to rejoice with us. I think we are on the side of good fortune and people realize that. I do not know to what extent, but there is a vision of what role they occupy in the music scene. No respite for anything because we did not replace anyone. The space we have ours. "
