BEDROOM

Intimist, oneiric, lyrical and crepuscular, Bedroom is the pop-folk project of illustrator Albert Aromir. After bringing out some models and giving a series of concerts with their own illustrations, Bedroom joined the small record label Foehn with a disc recorded in Catalan and English by Frank Rudow (ex-Manta Ray, La Jr, Suma) in a bungalow in Tossa de Mar; “La casa dins la casa” (Foehn 2008). Curiously enough the disc, as well as obtaining very good reviews from the specialist music press, also met with a successful and surprising reception in the world of celluloid and therefore scenes from “Map of the sounds of Tokyo”, directed by ’Isabel Coixet, “Blog” by Elena Trapé, or the documentary “En una illa” by Ricard Marcet also have Bedroom on their soundtrack. The group then released a 10” vinyl EP of 6 songs in Spanish, recorded in low-fidelity; “No dejes que el sol se ponga sin tu permiso” (Foehn 2009).

The performance Bedroom gave at Es Baluard was the group's presentation to the Balearic Islands, as well as that of its new disc, “El Fum Blanc” (Foehn, 2011), their second album and the first one to be sung entirely in Catalan. “El Fum Blanc” is a secret treatise on intimacy in which each song is a vignette the shadow of which stretches over the rest, multiplying reflections and interpretations. Aromir goes back to dealing with words, from a stance of irrationality and continually stumbling over a vocabulary that is unusual and strange for a folk song.
