Influenced by Vetusta Morla, Izal, The National, Radiohead. Mateo Umbral was studying to be a literary scholar at the Complutense University of Madrid when he dropped out in his final year, deciding he'd rather write songs than academic papers. He now pays his rent working in a dusty archival bookstore and spends his nights walking the quiet streets of his Malasaña neighborhood. His atmospheric indie-rock, written on his mother's old guitar, captures the feeling of watching the city from a distance, turning the loneliness and beauty of Madrid into vast, literary anthems.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(A cappella) En el 12 de la calle del Pez...
...la vecina nueva hereda la manía
de regar geranios que nunca florecen.
Y el ascensor se para entre dos pisos
justo en noviembre, por pura superstición.

[Chorus]
Son los vicios de construcción,
una memoria grabada en el gotelé.
No habitamos el espacio,
habitamos su repetición.

[Verse 2]
Hay un eco de tacones en la escalera
que solo se oye cuando amenaza con llover.
El del quinto jura que es el fantasma de Clara.
"No subas tan tarde", me aconsejó una vez.
Y hay un olor a cocido guardado en las vigas
los domingos, aunque nadie cocine ya.

[Chorus]
Son los vicios de construcción,
una memoria grabada en el gotelé.
No habitamos el espacio,
habitamos su repetición.

[Bridge]
Fachadas como mapas de arrugas,
cada grieta un meridiano de una vida anterior.
Somos el polvo que se asienta en las cornisas,
el último capítulo de un libro que escribió el hormigón.

[Outro]
Y en el 12 de la calle del Pez, sin darme cuenta,
riego geranios que nunca van a florecer.
