Despues

"Después" is the second album of Emak Bakia. Here, lyricism and audacity go hand in hand under the influence of Disco Inferno, the John Cale of "1919", Third Eye Foundation (whose leader, Matt Elliot, a self-proclaimed fan of the duo, was kept away from working on the mixes by previous commitments) and post-pop in general. Eleven pieces, graphic and poetic, in two distinct parts; one dark and pessimistic, the other more luminous in a sentimental road movie format. Exhaustive use sampling, instrumental themes, stories of serene affliction over the ghosts fo the past and the future, and well-crafted english lyrics are the four corner stones of an emotional work that has finally come to light.
