A chronicler of everyday life and marginalised issues, a master of provocation and paradox, and one of the most beautiful and disturbing voices on the scene, Fee Reega (CAPTAINS, Dead Hands) has released a new EP entitled «Rumores».
Recorded with Alex Gato and Gonza Whiplash at La münster, and produced and mixed by David Baldo in Madrid, the four songs included in «Rumores» seem to share veiled or indirect references to the typical confused noise of voices that usually emanates from the background of any audience. This makes us think of that supposed voice that runs through the audience and the unreflective word that connects the dots between people, drawing the malleable and gratuitously imagined artefact of our consciousness. As if they were innocent anecdotes told late at night, «Rumores» includes stories featuring different characters, which survive as our own thanks to the human act of empathy and acceptance of shared pain. Pain from different aggressions that make up a great shared wound, in the face of which Reega proposes self-forgiveness and vital reconciliation as weapons to wrest power from the system that designs our destiny and to develop, with it, our own unlimited thinking, alien to the world of rumours.
Previewed a few months ago by «Gwendolyne»(a journey through the loss of innocence, outlining the normalisation of abuse in patriarchal education culture), «Rumores» reveals three wonderful new songs by the artist from the Black Forest, currently based in Asturias: The beautiful ballad «Spaghetti (Noreña ghost story)» is an ode to the misunderstood who live in invisibility on the margins of the norm. To the rhythm of psycho-cumbia, «Goya» relates necrophilia to all those single women who make a pilgrimage to pray for a boyfriend at San Antonio de La Florida, Madrid, before the headless remains of Francisco Goya. And «Juguete roto» closes the EP with a kind of iconoclastic and unique bolero, in which Reega highlights the disposable nature of the idea of the person-object, to claim that others do not decide if you are worth anything, how much and until when.
