Three launches from March to date, the eighth anniversary of Some Records and an internship in New York with Jon Spencer. 2010 is the balance of PERROSKY. I know what others would want. "Estai pure egg. Your cover has to be toast, "he told members Ganjas Alejandro Gomez, whose marraquetas were responsible for the characteristic smell of something cooking Records in winter. That was how, before having songs, the duo knew what concept PERROSKY give the cover of his new job. An album that developed in parts, since Jon Spencer and Matt Verta-Ray visited Santiago in April 2009 to play with his Heavy Trash project at Teatro Novedades. This was the second approach between the two duos, after the drummer Alvaro Gomez kept contact by mail with Verta-Ray, to show the music that was with his brother. The Bar
Loreto, after the show for New Yorkers, came the turn to talk to Spencer, direct influence of national work in Blues Explosion and Pussy Galore. "Then we began to delude ourselves, thinking about recording with him for a day and more formal contact us. They said no problem and in December Last year we asked if we could go in February but had no money, songs or anything. We could not, so coordinate another time by email. Know each other and all that was there. They were listening to "Rhythm and the Street" that we had when we saw and we cachábamos it was difficult to engage with a group that already have their songs recorded. Became acquainted when we send the demo and they said 'this is good' "he says.
In the meantime, remained active PERROSKY waiting to realize the desired trip, launching in March, the live EP "Campante hard cash" (with footage taken from a session for the site POTQ.cl) and three months another mini album "Son del Monton", consisting of leftover songs "Rhythm and the Street" and "Turning into English." Two recycling of old material, as a change of folio, to oxygenate and prepare the next assault. "We set out to do other songs to burn elsewhere and with others, but never wrote it to please them. It was like an experiment, "they say.
just arrived in New York, the Gomez brothers were found with some friends living in the Big Apple and came to know the Lower East Side, where NY Hed, the study of Heavy Trash. "The next day, at nine o'clock, we were there. In two days we recorded the bases and then started working. When they asked what was our idea, we will respond that we wanted them to be involved as much as possible. If someone had an idea, as the weather was not enough, we arrived and we did. All at the touch. Ready in the morning we left a whole theme, focused early on, and in the afternoon as we finished. Teaching was good and the next day we turned the page to continue with another. In fact, Jon Spencer suggested we spend more time, just mix and send it to Chile, but did not want that in this "clinic." Can it has been better as he suggested, but our goal was to learn. "
"The study was small, we recorded in the same control room, it was the drums and guitar. Monitor with earphones, is completely analogous, almost all discs Heavy Trash have been recorded there. Innovative techniques we had wanted to know how far we were from that, but we realized we belonged to similar schools, testing with data from friends and put a speaker in front of the drum. Rather than expel the speaker sound is absorbed. Cincuenteros tricks for us were very bacanes. We like that style, although look old or revival, as has some avant-garde ", they say.
Of all the models and sketches that led, in 10 days in clean PERROSKY took nine cuts in NY Hed and left seven on "Toast" which, in addition to the advice of Spencer and Verta-Ray, the acting was instrumentalists in most of the songs. Nationals as is expected. "They played, got involved, share ideas. Peel the cable music and stories about trivial. The songs are sick life, the disc is very short but dynamic, each item has a different color. It is an innovation within ourselves. It sounds more colorful than the previous albums, also one is learning, especially in regard to the arrangements, the fantasy of the disc. Before we simply do what we live, to be faithful to our core, but then forget about it when the outcome is looking good, "they explain.
Back in Chile, and with the CD in hand, the Gomez reflect on what seen in the U.S. and apply it to your resume. His label, Something Records, celebrates eight years of independence and the house that shelters (where Alvaro and Alex used to live) opens its new premises. "Nobody teaches you how to make a seal or a band or a studio. There is no decalogue. We, the entire time we've been with Stew and PERROSKY, we been devising ways of recording and promotion. And traveling to other places you realize that in Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia or the United States is handled everything in a very similar way. It has managed to combine in a comprehensive manner the way they work independent labels. The needs of the musicians are similar. The same vinyl editions had the Heavy Trash were super cheap, were not so far to what one can aspire to any communication we have now. The same, going to record in New York, it was impossible a few years ago. We set the goal to make changes. This year has been hectic and fruitful, we have ideas and enthusiasm, the spirit is always the idea forward. "
