Miquel Serra. What scent do plants give off? Are animals happy? A passionate fan of harmonious nature and naturalistic music, Miquel Serra is one of the best-kept secrets on the Mallorcan music scene. With a clear love of the land he treads on – he grows strawberries – the songs are scrawled through his childhood, simple and happy. Influenced by nineties rock, as a band member-songwriter he has created a unique, recognisable, mature universe which achieves a delicate balance between song format and more experimental sounds.
Lost Fills. Lost Fills is one of the most exciting surprises on the scene. The trio led by the musician Pep Toni Ferrer (Oliva Trencada) and the music journalist Joan Cabot is based on their shared obsession with American indie rock. Lost Fills revive old compositions and execute a raw, direct sound that has morphed into an alternative lo-fi project. They make punk songs with melodic extravagance forged over unintelligible lyrics, incongruent delirium, drugs, drunken sprees and hangovers. This Mallorcan power trio practices a revved-up pop featuring guitars with critical, urgent reconstructions and adaptations.
