Una de las bandas nordicas más en forma de la actualidad pop es Satellite Stories. Justo hace un año los descubrimos en Los Conciertos de Radio 3 y nos encandilaron. Este mes estarán en nuestro país presentando su último trabajo Vagabonds. Un placer compartir Las 5? con Marko, su guitarrista.

 

1- ¿Cuál fue el primer disco que te compraste?

Blur – 13. I was 14 years old and I had just seen Song 2 at MTV. At the time I thought that the band was all about 2 minute grungey pop hits. Instead I got a brooding gospel album.

Blur, 13

 
 
2-¿Cuál es, para ti, la joya más preciada de tu colección de discos?

I would have to say that the most precious albums I have are the records that really got me into indie music ten years ago. By those I mean the first albums from Maximo Park, The Futureheads and Arcade Fire. 

A Certain Trigger, Maximo Park

The Futureheads

Arcade Fire, Funeral

 

3-¿Tu portada de disco favorita?

Talking Heads – Remain in Light. The colors and the unnatural computer editing make that cover really stand out. It’s like there is something hidden on the record.

Talking Heads, Remain in Light

 

4-¿Qué vinilo regalarías a alguien que se acaba de comprar un tocadiscos?

The original LP version of Return of the Durutti Column. The sandpaper sleeve is a kind of a thing that only works with vinyl records.

5-¿Qué es para ti el Record Store Day?

It’s a great day for musicians and normal record listeners, but a hellish, never-ending nightmare for collectors who have to buy all the limited editions.
