BIOGRAPHY

Blaumut is a Catalan band combining folk, pop, classical and songwriting music. The name of the band comes from their song Islàndia (Iceland) from the album El Turista (The tourist). The band is set up by Oriol Aymat (cello), Xavi de la Iglesia (guitar and voice), Vassil Lambrinov (violin) and Manel Pedrós (drums). Their lyrics are full of images, arrangements of classical string instruments and sounds of tales, which compose the atmosphere of their songs.

Vassil Lambrinov and Xavi de la Iglesia started their homemade recordings in 2003 and in 2009 the whole band started to play in small stages in Barcelona and Andorra.

In 2011, Blaumut signed their first contract with recording company Picap and shortly after they published their first LP, El Turista. Since that moment on, the band has had an enormous development thanks to their first hit “Pa amb oli i sal” (Bread with oil and salt, a typical Catalan dish), which became famous by playing it in Camp Nou (FC Barcelona stadium) and in several radio stations. 

In September 2013, they were given the Cerverí de lletres per a cançó award (given to lyricists) because of their musical adaptation of the poem “I beg your pardon“ of Salvador Espriu.

PREVISIONS D'ACOSTAMENT

Des del sostre del terrat,
diminut aixeca el cap.
Telescopis i un perfecte càlcul de les hores.
Previsions d'acostament d'un cometa sense vent.
Ell espera tan pacient
la línia recta dels seus ulls.

Plouen decimals que s’encenen.

I a la nit, a dos cents cinquanta mil kilòmetres d'aquí,
travessant altres indrets per venir amb mi.
On la música dels núvols deixa veure el fil
de partícules cremades d'un desig.

Des del sostre del terrat, diminuta la ciutat.
Diagrames per pensar com pot caçar una estrella
i fer llarg aquell moment tan fugaç com el present,
tan brillant com el secret més
ben guardat del professor.

Plouen decimals, mentre cau la nit.

A dos cents cinquanta mil kilòmetres d'aquí,
travessant altres indrets per venir amb mi.
On la música dels núvols deixa veure el fil
de partícules cremades d'un desig.

Constel·lacions de sols i trons
que fan interferències a una capsa de cartró.
I amb uns miralls ben situats
una espiral centrífuga, un principi d'atracció...

A dos cents cinquanta mil kilòmetres d'aquí,
travessant altres indrets per venir amb mi.
On la música dels núvols deixa veure el fil
de partícules cremades d'un desig.

CLOSE APPROACH PREVISIONS

From the ceiling of the rooftop terrace,
Tiny lifts his head.
Telescopes and a perfect calculation of the hours.
Close approach predictions of a comet with no wind.
He patiently awaits,
his eyes drawing two straight lines.

It’s raining sparkling diamonds.

And at night, 250,000 kilometres from here
Going through other places to get to me
Where the music of the clouds unravels the thread
of a desire’s burned particles.

From of the rooftop terrace, tiny is the city.
Diagrams to find out how he can catch a star.
And lengthen that moment as fleeting
as the present
As bright as the teacher’s best kept secret

It’s raining sparkling diamonds as night falls. 

And at night, 250,000 kilometres from here
Going through other places to get to me
Where the music of the clouds unravels the thread
of a desire’s burned particles.

Constellations of suns and thunders
Creating interferences in a cardboard box.
And with some well placed mirrors
A centrifugal spiral, a principle of attraction

And at night, 250,000 kilometres from here
Going through other places to get to me
Where the music of the clouds unravels the thread
of a desire’s burned particles.
