07/ 2011 Ariel Curtis mentioned at the official Pet Shop Boys website

The artist, producer, composer and remixer Ariel Curtis was mentioned at the Pet Shop Boys official website. Apparently someone thinks his album cover is too similar to a PSB's cover. Give us a break guys, we're big fans!

Ariel Curtis songs were featured in several Eternal Sunday compilations, he remixed some Eternal Sunday tracks and some of his electronic tracks are part of the Eternal Sunday audiovisual library.



Here's some music by Ariel!

07/ 2011 New release: Baby Scream - Secret Place + Hit And Run (single)

ES 2229 Baby Scream – Secret Place +
ES 2229 DS01 Baby Scream – Hit And Run (Single)

Of all the bands from Argentina with songs in English it is surely Baby Scream, the project lead by Juan Pablo Mazzola, the one with the richest history of releases, travels, tours and collaborations, specially overseas. Baby Scream has 7 albums and EP's released, most of them in countries other than theirs, in places like Germany, the UK and USA, and the band has been touring other unusual territories like Norway.

The story behind Secret Place, Baby Scream's eighth album and the first to be released by Eternal Sunday, begins when the government office Opción Música, that belongs to the City Government of Buenos Aires, announced that local indie labels could present proposals for recording an album at Estudio Urbano, a cultural center dedicated to rock music and youth culture. The winners could use 80 hours of recording. Eternal Sunday proposed recording a new Baby Scream album (the band was releasing its homonymous album by OK! Records in the UK) and the project was accepted, so the band has to enter the studio to make a new album in two weeks.

The result was Secret Place, a concise and direct album with overflowing honesty and artistic maturity that combines, like in a journey, the history of the band and the moment the album was made. The journey is not a long one: Secret Place contains 10 tracks that last less than three minutes each, but they are enough for allowing the leader and composer Juan Pablo Mazzola to spread his particular obsessions and themes: it starts with the wild rock piece "The Last Call" and goes straight to the youthful lennonesque, ballad "Hit And Run" (that could easily fit in any of John Lennon's early 70's albums), then takes us to the almost country/ acoustic rock of "Secret place" and "Going North", the first one radiating joy, the second returning to the more dark mood. They are followed by "Cold Weather Reggae", a particular incursion in Jamaican rhythms with a progressive solo included, "Bad Seed", acoustic again and about bad childhood memories, the sweet "Patiently", the direct "London Sun", about the city that is the world capital of pop music, a city that evokes in Juan Pablo Mazzola both bright and dark memories; next is "The Atmosphere", inspiring a relaxing and somehow trapping sensation, sweetened by violin arrangements, and the journey closes with the dazzling and oniric "Eating My Face", about a real dream that the composer had while recording the album (he was served his own head to eat at a restaurant).

Secret Place is a typical Baby Scream album: it shares a vision equally desolated and hopeful of a world that combines innocence, evil, stupidity, youth culture, classic rock and roll, the escapism and the ravages of drugs, the different cities and places you visit when you're on the road, love, treason, rage, fear of the unknown, all of this expressed with an almost immaculate point of view that could belong to a child that observes the world without any kind of prejudice. It is maybe because of this that the album cover and the pictures inside the CD booklet, (taken by Marcia Hill) depict a somehow childish universe: the sweet grandma that offers us a tea in a suburban afternoon, the furry cuddle toys in the park, the toy windmill forgotten in the garden after playtime…

There is a secret place, seems to say Baby Scream, in which we are still children and we see things as they are: as an eternal dream passing in front of our eyes, always changing, always surprising, sometimes depressing, sometimes thrilling, in which we don't actually know our place or our role, but we still try to enjoy ourselves as much as we can.


Faithful to the classic rock tradition followed by Baby Scream, Eternal Sunday announces the release of the single "Hit And Run" backed with "20th Century Baby". "20th Century Baby" is a song written by the legendary Marc Bolan (the leader of T-Rex) that was only released as a demo after the composer's death. Baby Scream recorded its version during the Secret Place recording sessions.

The single will be available at every major digital store (iTunes, eMusic, Amazon, Spotify, etc.) on July 15th, 2011.

07/ 2011 Nuevo lanzamiento: Baby Scream - Secret Place + Hit And Run (single)

ES 2229 Baby Scream – Secret Place +
ES 2229 DS01 Baby Scream – Hit And Run (Single)

De todas las bandas argentinas con material original en inglés es seguramente Baby Scream, el proyecto liderado por Juan Pablo Mazzola, la que posee la historia más rica y ecléctica en cuanto a viajes, giras, ediciones y colaboraciones, especialmente en el extranjero. Baby Scream tiene, hasta la fecha, 7 álbumes y EP's, casi todos editados por sellos fuera de su país, en lugares como Alemania, Inglaterra y Estados Unidos, y la banda se ha pasado los últimos años girando por esos países y por otros tan distantes y disímiles como Noruega.

La historia de Secret Place, el octavo álbum de Baby Scream y el primero a ser editado por Eternal Sunday, comienza cuando la oficina de promoción musical Opción Música, dependiente del Gobierno de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, anunció a los sellos independientes locales que el centro Estudio Urbano, dedicado a la música y la cultura joven, premiaría con 80 horas de grabación a los sellos que presentaran proyectos interesantes. Eternal Sunday propuso grabar un nuevo álbum de Baby Scream, que acababa de lanzar su álbum homónimo por sello inglés OK! Records. El proyecto fue declarado ganador y Baby Scream debió entrar apresuradamente al estudio a grabar su nuevo disco en dos semanas.

El resultado fue Secret Place, un disco directo que rebosa honestidad y madurez artística y que combina como en un viaje la historia de la banda y el momento en el que fue concebido. El viaje no es extenso, Secret Place contiene diez tracks de menos de tres minutos cada uno, pero que alcanzan para que el líder y compositor Juan Pablo Mazzola despliegue sus particulares obsesiones y temáticas: comenzando por el rock salvaje de "The Last Call", pasando por la primaveral atmósfera juvenil con evidentes toques lennonianos de "Hit And Run" (un tema que encajaría perfecto en cualquier álbum solista de John Lennon), el viaje nos lleva por el country/ rock acústico de "Secret Place" y "Going North", uno con un espíritu sorprendentemente alegre, el segundo retornando al clima sombrío. Le siguen el "Cold Weather Reggae", particular incursión en los ritmos jamaiquinos con solo de teclado seudoprogesivo en el medio, "Bad Seed", de nuevo en plan acústico y acerca de malos recuerdos de los compañeros de la niñez, la dulce "Patiently", la directa "London Sun" acerca de la capital mundial de la música pop, ciudad de la que Mazzola atesora recuerdos alegres y oscuros, que da paso a "The Atmosphere", que comunica una sensación entre agradable y atrapante endulzada por arreglos de violín, y el viaje cierra con la deslumbrante y onírica "Eating My face", acerca de un sueño real que el autor tuvo durante la grabación (le servían su propia cabeza para comer durante una cena).

Secret Place es un disco típico y cabal de Baby Scream, nos muestra una visión entre desoladora y esperanzada de un mundo en el que se combinan la inocencia, la maldad, la estupidez, la cultura juvenil, el rock and roll clásico, el escapismo y los estragos de las drogas, las diferentes ciudades y los viajes permanentes, el amor, la traición, el enojo, la locura, el miedo a lo desconocido, todo expresado con una visión casi inmaculada que podría provenir de un niño que observa al mundo sin prejuicios de ninguna clase. Quizás por eso la portada del álbum y las fotos (de la fotógrafa Marcia Hill) escogidas para el CD reflejan un mundo casi infantil: la dulce abuelita que nos sirve un té en una tarde suburbana, los muñecos de peluche en un parque, el molinito de viento descuidadamente olvidado luego de una jornada de juegos…

Hay un lugar secreto, parece decirnos Baby Scream, en el que seguimos siendo niños y vemos las cosas como son: como un sueño eterno que pasa ante nuestros ojos, siempre cambiante y sorprendente, a veces deprimente, a veces emocionante, en el que no sabemos bien cuál es nuestro lugar ni nuestro rol, pero eso no va a estropearnos el disfrutar del viaje lo más que podamos.


Fiel a la tradición del rock clásico encarnada por Baby Scream, Eternal Sunday anuncia el lanzamiento del single "Hit And Run" con "20th Century Baby" como lado B. "20th Century Baby" es un tema escrito por el legendario Marc Bolan (el líder de T-Rex) que sólo vio la luz en estado de demo lanzado luego de la trágica muerte del autor y cantante. Baby Scream grabó su versión en las sesiones de grabación del álbum Secret Place.

El single estará disponible en todas las tiendas digitales del mundo (iTunes, eMusic, Amazon, Spotify, etc.) a partir del 15 de julio de 2011.
