Next Wednesday, November 27, is marked in red on the calendar. the Submarine Sky band. That day, starting at 8:00 p.m., they will take the stage at the El Sol room (Jardines Street, 2) to present their first studio album, to which they have given their name. An event like this is transcendental for any music group, but for these people from Madrid it is even more loaded with meaning, if possible, because it represents the culmination of a process that goes back more than four years.
“Everything has happened to Sergio Blas (voice and guitar), Eduardo de la Mata (guitar and backing vocals), Josele Luna (bass) and Rober Aracil (drums and backing vocals). This is what De la Mata acknowledges in a telephone conversation from the rehearsal room where They discount the hours so that Wednesday arrives. The band went into the studio to shape their first album in February 2020, three weeks before the confinement of the entire population was decreed due to the pandemic.
The health emergency disrupted his work plans and the planning they had designed. When after many months they managed to get over it and get together again to record their songs, an error in a hard drive ended up deleting the 13 songs that the album contains. It wasn’t all. Then came some health problems, the paternity of the owner of the studio… and they were back to square one.
“Things have happened that have changed our times,” summarizes Eduardo de la Mata, a whole odyssey to which they now see the end. And playing their first full album live at the El Sol room, where they have already performed twice with ‘sold out’, is the best possible finishing touch. Underwater Sky explains that His music is not confined to a single style.although the guitars and vocal harmonies are the common thread that gives meaning to everything they do, whether it is a devilish song like ‘Amor de contrabando’ or ‘Canita al aire’, or a mid-tempo like ‘ojaly’ or ‘Matar al dragon’.
“Melody, harmony, rhythm, pulse, heart”they emphasize from the group as a sign of identity. They define their music as “a sound that deceives you and makes you release every last atom of air in your lungs” and as “an authentic mix that has always been lodged in your ventricles.”
Cielo Submarino is a band that is beginning to make its way into the music scene, but they are neither rookies nor newcomers: Each member of the group is backed by a consolidated track record. Rober Aracil was on drums with Buenas Noches Rose, with Pereza and later with Leiva; while Eduardo de la Mata was part of Diavlo and Vipership, Sergio Blas of Barbara Ann Dj and Josele de Luna worked with Chumi Chuma and The Habit Of The Rabbit.
These Madrid residents from Alameda de Osuna, the neighborhood of La Estrella and Móstoles promise a unique and vibrant night next Wednesday, November 27 at El Solwhere they will have the band Caballo as opening acts. Their first studio album – produced by Eduardo de la Mata, recorded and mixed by Luis Caretti at Protege Moi Estudio and mastered at Hittwice Producciones by Rober Aracil – will sound complete live for the first time and, in addition, they will preview the second.
