After a 5-year hiatus following the release of their acclaimed sophomore release, Barcelona based outfit Oso Leone return with an alluring new album touching on soul, funk, R&B and pop, out via Apollo Records on March 11th.
Following their meditative self-titled debut and its captivatingly sparse follow-up ‘Mokragora,’ ‘Gallery Love’ achieves what it sets out to do and more, taking the listener on an auditory journey with lucid song structures that ebb and flow like the waves. A sublime musical experience, its hypnotic repetition is an ode to refinement, and the gentle forays into ambient electronica and jazz show impeccable restraint and sensitivity.

La banda mallorquina Oso Leone ha aniquilat fronteres amb facilitat en els últims mesos gràcies a “Mokragora”, el seu més recent treball, i a un so fresc i carregat de sensibilitat. Aquesta vegada visiten Barcelona en un concert que servirà per escalfar motors abans de la seva gira per Estats Units i com a preàmbul a la publicació del seu pròxim disc. Aquesta nit al Music Hall.
L’incombustible trio britànic Placebo va publicar el 2013 el seu setè treball d’estudi, ‘Loud like love’, el primer des de ‘Battle For The Sun’ (2009). Després d’una carrera que aquest 2014 compleix 20 anys i que els ha fet vendre més de 12 milions de discos a tot el món, Brian Molko, Stefan Olsdal i Steve Forrest passen per Barcelona per celebrar-ho amb els seus fans al Sant Jordi Club.
D’una altra banda, la banda mallorquina Oso Leone exercirà de teloners confirmant una vegada més l’ascens dins de l’escena musical internacional alternativa. Després de publicar el seu brillant segon disc Mokragora, admirat per crítica i public i disc nacional de 2013 a Ville à Dômat, els illencs han creat un so singular d’intensitat electrònica i rock abstracte que escenificaran avui al Sant Jordi Club.
