LES PHILIPPES
ODISEA ULTRAMARINA

Delicious is the word that defines the taste that Les Philippes give to any music they create. They are delicate, transparent, classy... values that they've been working on since their debut, three records ago. Les Philippes have always been, and will always be, an exquisite pop group, simply lofty, softly forged. They started singing in english in "Philarmonic Philantropy" (Bcore, 03), produced by Mark Wirtz and acclaimed by press and audience, with vintage-taste songs and brilliant melodies at four voices. In the following "Les Philippes & The Empty Characters" (BCore, 05), they found their own identity in spanish lyrics, and they didn't quit, presenting now their first album completely sung in spanish: "Odisea Ultramarina". A record that has taken long to be conceived and recorded, as great things take, produced by the spanish post-hardcore guru Santi Garcia who has dived inside their music to capture the treasures in these four gentlemen's minds and fingers. "Odisea Ultramarina" is the story of four sailors who explain their point of view about a land that scares them in "En los estancos no se puede fumar" and also about the oceanic world that fascinates them in "Philippe Aronnax"; love and journey stories in "1,2,3, ficción!" or "Siempre quise llevar sombrero", or the maritime homage of "Las aventuras del abuelo Rogelio", with the collaboration of the local folklore band Llops De Mar. It's the story of four young men with a very special sensitivity, with an unbreakable personality that looks at the beautiful side of things though whatever may happen, a new fashion coming up, a pseudo-new dancing hype hitting the clubs... They'll keep on singing their precious songs, like pearls found in the deepest of the sea...
