Gizmo Varillas
VEGA - Ideal Bar
Fire år efter udgivelsen af hans anmelderroste tredje album, Out of the Darkness, står Remove Gizmo Varillas igen klar til at bjergtage lytter verden med sine mesterlige sangskrivning.
Han har netop udgivet singlen "Ojos Nuevos" med den virtuose walisiske harpist Amanda Whiting og præsenterer en overbevisende ny single, der reflekterer over en tid med betydelig forvandling både personligt og professionel. Gizmo Varillas fortæller om nummeret:
"I wrote "Ojos Nuevos" two years ago, the day before my dad passed away. He was battling cancer, and I was in Spain by his side during his final weeks. During that time, I felt a strong urge to write a song. I felt a sense of urgency, like time was running out. I picked up my guitar and wrote it in just a couple of hours. The next day, I got the dreaded phone call that he was gone."Ojos Nuevos," will always be a special one for me. The title translates to "new eyes," and the song is about that moment in life when you stop taking things for granted."
Singlen varsler nyt album fra den fremadstormende spanske musiker, der er sat til at udkomme i starten af 2025.
I Gizmo Varillas musikalske univers blandes med legende lethed elementer af latinske rytmer med melodier, der kipper med hatten til Paul Simon og elektriske guitarer, der får John Frusciante fans til at spidse ører.
Det var med sit tredje, hjemmeproducerede album Out Of The Darkness, at han for alvor fik slået hul på indiepop-skallen og røg på de globale hitlister og radiostationer.
