about

Speederina / Videoclub, el nuevo single doble A de Jamie 4 President Jamie 4 President regresan con nuevo material tras ‘Consolation Prize’ (BCore, 2019), la última grabación de la banda que fuera publicada antes de aquello que todos conocimos por COVID-19.

El grupo, salpicado entre Málaga, Sant Feliu de Guíxols y Oviedo, presenta dos canciones independientes pero en paralelo, un single doble-A que, si bien funciona con autonomía, servirá para abrir boca antes de la salida del quinto álbum en 2023.Fue a finales de marzo cuando el vino de temporada de Vilafranca del Penedès comenzó a correr — y cuando el río suena, agua lleva.

Irremediablemente la presencia de Jamie, Pablo, Borja y Sixto coincidió en el mismo pueblo, y no exclusivamente por la gastronomía, sino por la ubicación de Cal Pau Recordings, el estudio que ha alumbrado los dos nuevos cortes.En medio de una masía, entre una colección de motos vintage, Borja Pérez —bajista de la banda y productor por derecho propio— grabó, dirigió y mezcló las sesiones aquel fin de semana.

Como si fueran las distintas caras de una misma moneda, ambos temas verán por fin la luz y serán lanzados cada uno con una semana de diferencia este mes de diciembre. En la primera cara encontramos ‘Speederina’, un enérgico y anfetamínico guiño al college-rock de comienzos de los 80 y al power-pop de aquellos primeros Teenage Fanclub que lucían melena y soñaban con ser los siguientes Dinosaur Jr.

En el reverso, equilibrando la tónica de la discografía de Jamie 4 President, damos con ‘Videoclub’, la versión más reflexiva pero no menos vibrante del grupo: un suerte de visita a los Beach Boys bajo el filtro del lo-fi actual y con el grano cada vez más distorsionado de una vieja cinta de VHS reproducida cientos de veces. Ambas canciones permanecen fieles al espíritu supermelódico del grupo bajo el nombre de los sospechosos habituales, aunque esta vez se haya sumado la última incorporación a la formación, Sixto Martín de La Trinidad a la guitarra y al piano. Parece ser que las Navidades llegan algo antes de lo previsto este año.

lyrics

When I'm with you I feel like a rock. There's a clock that's ticking and a dog that won't shut up. I raced for the prize but tripped up somewhere. Lately everyone's a prophet with an ego beyond repair.
If one does project it enough, good fruit comes to bear. I am done with cherry picking, those pajamas you wear. Speederina.
It's common folklore, there's two sides to every story and sometimes mine and yours are night and day.
A bird in the hand worth two in the bush. Dodging bars, shooting stars, cheap thrills and an instant crush. So bottle my soul and send it to space. Cause I've been waiting for someone like you to come put me in my place.
If one does project it enough, good fruit comes to bear. I am done with cherry picking, those pajamas you wear. Speederina.
