THE CHARADES "When Shining Blue"
2006（Self Releasd） ￥1800(taxin) NEW ARRIVAL 08.10.12
2001年の結成以来そのかわいらしさが止まることはない、スペインはマドリッドのギター/ガレージポップ4人組（女３男１すなわちゴールデン比率）！2007年リリースの最新作ではポルトガル語で歌っている彼女らだがこのアルバムでは英語。この英米にはないたどたどしさは反則です！！。2004年にはKill Rock Starsなど世界的なコンピレーションにも参加し一躍ギターポップシーンのヒロインに躍り出た。Lucky SoulやPipettesのようなガーリーポップファンにはもちろん、Those Dancing Days、Camera Obscure好きはヨダレ止まらないでしょう～！毒がないRedd KrossやBreedersとか、Beachwood Sparksらと比較されるのも納得。あーかわゆす（萌

BIOGRAPHY
In 2001 the band was formed in Madrid by three girls and a boy from different towns of spanish geography. Their first recording was "The only one" (H-Records, 2004), a four-song EP between Garage and guitar-pop which had excellent reviews and caught the attention of the prestigious american label Kill Rock Stars. That made them appear in the compilation "Tracks and fields" (2004), along with bands like Sonic Youth, The Gossip and The Decemberists.
After recording a second EP that was never released, "When Shinning blue" became their first album on Corea Discos in 2006. It was produced by Santi Garcia, responsible of the sound of half of the best spanish independent rock bands. They played around Spain in venues and festivals like Primavera Sound or PopXiriaPop and got excellent reviews from specialized press like Ruta66 or Rock De Lux and a lot of airplay in main spanish radio Radio3.
In summer 2007, after a whole year playing and writing, they entered again Santi Garcia's studio to record their second album. This time it was BCore the label that showed interest in their music, and this "En ningun lugar" shows the evolving pulse of the band in a collection of inspired songs. More maturity, more atmosphere, arrangements, harmonies and variety of structures than ever before in their best album to date. A step forward in the search of their personal luminous way. A captivating album, filled with Cosmical Pop and Rock, plenty of wonderful vocals and chorus, stuffed with good ideas and good taste. A record built on a base of excellent songwriting and armed with an accurate production, where the Charades show their inheritance from glorious bands like Love or American Spring and also Beachwood Sparks or the most acid Breeders.
