Rauelsson to open for She & Him in Barcelona / Tour in Spain with a Portland touch

2010 04 16 10:15

Spain to Oregon… then Oregon to Spain then back and all over again… that sounds like Rauelsson, doesn’t it?. After an entire year in Oregon, Rauelsson is back in Spain until the Summer. He seems to not have had enough of Portland as he is about to embark on a tour all over the Spanish peninsula that is somehow full of Portland. He will be touring Spain with the same Portland band that played with him here in Oregon and on his West Coast shows; Laurel Simmons (MayMay; who will open for some shows in Spain), Nicholas Marshall (Sabertooth), Matt Berger (Musee Mecanique, Laura Gibson, etc.), Anna Schott and Dave Leavitt. The tour starts in Barcelona opening for She & Him, the “side” project of monster-of-folk and Portlander M. Ward with actress Zooey Deschanel. Then they head to Valencia, where they play with HUSH queen Laura Gibson, who is back in Europe on an extensive tour with Port O’Brien. Then north to the medieval city of Girona, then Madrid for a Radio-3 interview/session on Julio Ruiz’s Disco Grande (a session that Rauelsson shares with Laura Gibson). Then a bit south to Albacete, then back to Madrid, then off to the Mediterranean coast to play in Alicante and from there to finish on a homecoming show at the Auditori of Castellón….oh! and before the tour supporting “La Siembra” starts, Rauelsson will be performing live the score that he wrote for the documentary “From River to Sea”, directed by Susan Fink, as part of the Cinemascore Festival in Benicassim, Spain.

This is how it goes:

April:

22 Festival Cinemascore, Benicassim
25 Apolo, Barcelona (+ SHE AND HIM)
26 El Loco, Valencia (+ LAURA GIBSON)
27 El Cercle, Girona (+ MAYMAY)
28 Radio3 Disco Grande, Madrid (+ LAURA GIBSON)
29 Pussy Wagon, Albacete (+ MAYMAY + SANTI CAMPOS)
30 Clamores, Madrid (+ ABRAHAM BOBA)

May:

1 Coyote, Alicante (+ MAYMAY + SANTI CAMPOS)
2 Auditori, Castellón (+ MAYMAY + ABRAHAM BOBA

Rauelsson – “Debutantes” Sampler Mix

Willamette Week rightly gushed:

[SPANISH FOLK] On his debut full-length album, La Siembra, La Espera Y La Cosecha, Spaniard Raúl Pastor Medall (a.k.a. Rauelsson) creates a set of orchestral folk songs about “the fragility of life and the immenseness of love as a response to such fragility.” Heavy stuff, especially considering the whole thing is sung in Spanish. The question, then, becomes one of transference: can an album with such a lofty ambition translate to an audience that (for the most part) doesn’t speak the language?

I’ll admit that I don’t understand a word Rauelsson sings on La Siembra, but that doesn’t mean I can’t feel the weight of the songs. La Siembra is undoubtably a winter album; from the acoustic instrumentation that sounds like it was recorded next to a fireplace and the warm, earthy atmosphere, this is the type of music you want to hear while lying under a fleece blanket. Layered with a bed of delicate piano and strings, “La Calma” and album standout “Raíces (otro Aviso)” would hold up through any windstorm, but the delicate and noble arrangements only heighten the tension in Rauelsson’s voice. You can tell everything is not quite right, even without translating the lyrics.

Rauelsson—who now spends most of his time in the Northwest—recorded the bulk of the material at Hush Records headquarters Type Foundry with the assistance of Norfolk & Western’s Adam Selzer and Dave Depper. Besides guest spots from the familiar faces (Laura Gibson, Ritchie Young, Heather Broderick), it’s a relatively simple affair: just plinking pianos, soft hits of bass, barely there percussion and Rauelsson’s fluttering voice, which could hold my attention all by itself. In fact, after completing the basic tracks, Rauelsson returned to the Mediterranean countryside to track his vocals in an ancient stone-walled house. But no matter where it was finished, there’s no denying that he has a gift for conveying deep emotions through gorgeous folk songs. That’s one thing you don’t need to speak Spanish to understand.

Rauelsson on Disco Grande, RNE Radio 3.

2009 12 11 09:45


Disco Grande with Julio Ruiz on Radio Nacional de España, Radio 3 is perhaps the Spanish equivalent of  The John Peel Show (BBC) or Nic Harcourt’s Morning Becomes Eclectic (KCRW). Ruiz, who has been hosting the show for 28 38 years (!), took time to interview Raúl last week for his mother country radio audience:

Con un café en la mano, a las siete de la mañana, hora de allá, contestó a nuestras preguntas a propósito de ese brillante trabajo, cantado en español, “La siembra, la espera y la cosecha”.

Rauelsson – Free / Support “Debutantes” EP

2009 12 01 08:15

DebutntesEPfree

Raúl Pastor Medal is one classy Spaniard.  While some are content to collect the cast-offs for extra-album material, Raúl saw fit to reserve two of the finest tracks (“Depredadores” and “Desbocados”) as a special gift for listeners, and offer them up for free (or your support).  They are bundled with the album opener, “Debutantes”, an almost A Capella choral arrangement Spanish version of Loch Lomond’s “Elephants and Little Girls” translated “Elephantes y Niñas”, and a haunting Chad Crouch remix of the album track “Palidez” entitled “Palideces”. We are honored to share such a quality audible morsel with you, available now in the HUSHshop.  Enjoy!
