NEW GOLD DREAMS - Oblique

Oblique begans its musical journey in mid-2003 with their debut release Acapulco (Greenland Productions). Reminiscences of the eighties and influences of the electro sounds imposed in Europe make up this album with which they start to get known in the underground circuits in the country.
After editing This is my... remixes (Greenland Productions), their first single remixed by Dj Coco & Bombjack, OBK or Spunky among others, the band decide to expose their second LP Wonderful Opulence (Greenland Productions), a more elaborate album with darker influences with which they even cross borders being played on MTV Italy and having very good reviews from specialized English websites like The Pansentient League or League-online or Belgian websites like Side Line, for example.


After traveling half of Spain with more than 50 concerts and performing at such prestigious festivals like FIB 2009, Eólica, Heineken Greenspace Valencia, Musiclip, Sonoric or T'ho Porto (Portugal), Oblique returns with Acapulco [Special Edition] (Greenland Productions), an EP that covers songs of their first album and that it has a great reception in digital sales from United Kingdom.


The influences of the band pass by groups such as:
Client, Ladytron, OMD, The Human League, Hot Chip, Cut Copy, White Lies, etc.


Already in 2009, Oblique records Without Making Noise (Greenland Productions) leaping into their sound to more personal formats where electronic dance and dark atmospheres are strongly present.
Without Making Noise opens to Oblique new ways like signing with EMI Publishing, including songs in films such as Sexy Killer (Miguel Marti) or the awarded Bon Appétit (David Pinillos) or being appointed by the specialized media (Mondo Sonoro, Go, Rock Deluxe...).


The Cathedral has been the last EP of the band and it has been released in digital format in late 2009. It consists of five personal and almost acoustic versions of tracks from previous albums.


Currently, Oblique is in the process of creating what will be his new album and video clip.
