Superlithium and its futuristic tuning

The Visiones del futuro album was born from a very extensive process of experimentation, of searching and finding the right pieces for each of the songs. It is made with all the time and care of the case, in part because it is an album crossed by the pandemic.

(We recommend: “Harissa”, the sauce recipe from AvenRec)

The process began with a look at the past of the band, rescuing some musical ideas that we had saved for a few years, giving them new life in their interpretation, sound and modifying things. We begin the exploration with a song called Texaswhich we had done some time ago when we were working towards Superlithium.

The album takes shape when that look back offers us a little spark to reinvent musical ideas and revitalize them, and, in turn, new ideas were born from that process, such as the songs Two, Be reborn, the stamina Y I failed, which are songs that are clearly made during the pandemic phase, in which they worked remotely. When we had the chance to see each other, we were getting our hands on him.

Thus, the entire album is crossed by those two somewhat strong aspects, which is looking back at the band’s past and rescuing some of the ideas, and also letting that inform the birth of new musical ideas. The process is unconventional, in the sense that we didn’t do it all in one sitting in a studio, they were songs that were worked on in different spaces, in our personal studios or when we got together we set up some informal space in the house of one of our us, in places that were cool, and we went through the studio to record only some specific things, like drums, horns and guitars.

Every time we sat down and moved on a bit, the record allowed us to let it rest for a while, then revisit what we had done and make a decision as to whether where we were going was on the right track. Those are the two things that make it unconventional, looking at ideas we had from previous stages of the band and letting that trigger new proposals. Particularly, the fact of working in unconventional spaces and in non-fragmented processes, not in a bad way, but rather allowed us to think “this song needs to be improved or this guitar is cool, but it could still be better if we did this”, then he would let us go back to the material in a very objective way.

What we like most about Visions of the Future is that it allows us to explore musical ideas that sometimes arose from things that are not usual for us, such as making music strictly with analog synthesizers or creating songs from programming and some sound design -that was reported by a little musical idea – and not necessarily do all the songs from the guitar, piano and voice. That’s what we liked about the latest albums, looking for a way to reinvent our internal creative process, so as not to fall into routines or complacency.

What is very particular about this album, and that has a little to do with the name and the concept, is that in the end we try to release individual songs as singles -as is done a little in the industry today in all genres. -, and finally it was difficult for us to do that genuinely, we needed to feel that the songs were part of something, so that’s when definitely having all the songs, seeing the name of the album, the art, conceptualizing everything, it made much more sense to us .

Title visions of the future It is framed in the fact that since we started the band we have looked forward, we have not gotten tired of dreaming, of imagining how the next thing we are going to do can be, the next show, the next album, so that is very representative of the band personality.

On the other hand, the name is related to this idea that we always look towards the future, songs that didn’t come out at the time, ideas that weren’t used before, it was almost as if in that past we were looking towards this future and saying ” this will be better to use later”, so the process of visions of the future It is the latest connection bridge between the public and Superlithium.
