Примечание: London based/ Spanish singer songwriter that sounds like Paul Simon and Caetano Veloso wrote songs in collaboration with Devendra Banhart and went on tour with Manu Chao. Independent artist releasing his third album with support from radios across Europe including 6 Music, Nova and KCRW amongst many others. First time he recorded outside his bedroom and made the trip to the legendary RAK Studios in London. One need only look at the cover illustrations for OUT OF THE DARKNESS – and its associated singles – to recognise that the central theme behind GIZMO VARILLAS’ third album is one of metamorphosis. In the years since his debut, 2017’s El Dorado, he’s developed from bedroom artist to one surrounded by other musicians, even living legends, while at the same time confronting, and reflecting upon, his own struggles. His last album, 2018’s Dreaming Of Better Days, found him trying to maintain his – and our – optimism while faced by a world that seems to have lost its way, but this triumphant third album was largely inspired by the events, both political and personal, that have since followed, and his efforts to overcome the problems they’ve presented. These last two years haven’t been the easiest for the London-based Spaniard, whose music effortlessly combines styles from across the world, drawing upon his multicultural background and then extending its horizons yet further. Quite apart from troubling situations in both his adopted home and his motherland, Varillas found himself battling his own issues while also making the difficult transition, as an independent artist, from part-time to full-time musician. “OUT OF THE DARKNESS,” he confesses, “is a collection of songs about transformation, and about making it to the other side. This past year I’ve reflected a lot on the dark times I’ve overcome in my life. The theme came to me quite naturally.”
