lemon flavour capsula to remenber myrian gartzia   You just published a new album, “Songs and circuits” (Liliput, 2006). What kind of album is this?
Martin: “It is similar to the one we did lately live, more rocker. It also has some characteristics from other albums.

In English?
Martin: “Yes, the whole thing” It seems we go against what people do. Since the beginning of this year, we played out a lot, France, Germany, United Kingdom... and so, it had no sense to sing in Spanish there.”
Coni: “We try the message to arrive easier, we want to get closer to people. English is a tool and we wanted to use it.”

Where does the meaning of the title come from: “Songs and Circuits”?
Coni: “In the end, this is what music is, songs and circuits, you need them to create an album. On the other hand, these are songs that lately have helped us".
Martin: “Besides, we also wanted to use the classic concept; the need of circuits to reflect songs in an album.”

And the lyrics? You always have something special with lyrics...
Martin: “We submerge on what we always do, experiences, sensations, pictures or images of people we met on our way..."
Coni: "...told in a very personal way, we really like puns, we often use language the way we want.”
Martin: "For example, the single in the album, “Voices Underground” is about that, we talk about what happens in the storeroom.”

You are Argentineans. However, you have lived in Bilbo for a long, long time. Did you find something to say in the Old Bilbo?
Martin: “Yes, that’s it. Besides, we also lived in the same kind of neighborhood in London and Berlin. We reflect this light and shadows in the album. It’s been a long time since we live here. We also lived the change in the city, not only in our neighborhood. At the beginning, we were something weird for people, Argentineans! Now, people assumed this and some other things too.”
Coni: “We lived the change, the new against the old. However, Bilbo has many good things. At the beginning, we just came here to spend six months... we are still here.”

And the concept you had before about the Basque country, is it more solid now?
Martin: “We knew the Basque Country of Eskorbuto, La Polla and Zarama. But once you get here, there are so many things that surprise you: “koadrila”s, people on the streets...
Coni: “Besides, we were looking for a place to live but also for a place where we could go on with our music. In London and Berlin is not easy, but here, we have a concert almost every weekend and this is what we wanted.”
