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]
La luz del tubo en la oficina de Aluche
tatúa un código de barras en la piel.
Son las diez de noviembre y el aire huele
a polvo de archivo y a paciencia de papel.
La chica de delante repasa sus fotocopias,
un plano de una vida que aún no es.

[Chorus]
Y dime, ¿crees que este andamio aguanta otro invierno más?
¿Crees que esta viga maestra no se va a quebrar?

[Verse 2]
Tengo el modelo 790 en el bolsillo,
su peso específico me dobla la ciudad.
Un guardia jura: "el siguiente, sin estribillos",
y yo ensayo mi cara de normalidad.
Las grietas del pladur dibujan mapas
de un país al que nunca he sabido llegar.

[Chorus]
Y dime, ¿crees que este andamio aguanta otro invierno más?
¿Crees que esta viga maestra no se va a quebrar?

[Bridge]
Construimos la fe con los mismos gises
con los que se delimita una demolición.
Una firma ilegible sobre directrices
que son el esqueleto de esta habitación.

[Outro]
(Solo voz y guitarra acústica)
Dime... ¿crees que este andamio aguanta?
