Strange and ominous but also beautiful, it’s a picture that perfectly captures the tone of the album. Having moved away from the light indie vibe of his earlier work, Libre Asociación sees Rodríguez create a much stronger rock sound based on electric guitars and powerful vocals. The music is striking but melancholy, paired with lyrics written in a poetic yet somewhat haunting Spanish. Set to play all across Spain throughout the winter, The New Raemon’s tour will end at the Apolo in January.
