about

«Σε εποχές που η επιτυχία ενός συγκροτήματος εξαρτάται κατά πολύ από την προβολή του στα social media, την ποσότητα των κυκλοφοριών του και το lobbying, οι Aqua Barons βγάζουν περιφρονητικά την γλώσσα με αποτέλεσμα να μην γνωρίζουν ιδιαίτερη! Μένοντας πιστοί στον ήχο και στις μεθόδους ηχογράφησης του παρελθόντος (άραγε ήξεραν τι κάνουν?), το συγκρότημα με έδρα το Λέχαιο Κορινθίας παρουσιάζει στους λάτρεις του είδους 10-1 ολοκαίνουργια τραγούδια που καλύπτουν το ευρύτερο φάσμα της instrumental μουσικής. Μουσική για κινηματογράφο, καθαρόαιμο 60’s surf, μελωδικά fuzz περάσματα, doo-wop απόπειρες, exotica, όλα βρίσκουν τη θέση τους στο 2ο full length πόνημα τους Extreme Guitar Conditions. Ένας ύμνος στην κιθαριστική instrumental μουσική! Καθίστε λοιπόν αναπαυτικά στην πολυθρόνα, στο αυτοκίνητο ή μπροστά στα άθλια ηχεία του laptop σας και απολαύστε δυνατά... ή και σιγά! Όπως σας αρέσει καλύτερα ή σας ενοχλεί λιγότερο!»

“In times where success depends much on the exposure through social media, constant releases and lobbying, the Aqua Barons rudely stick out their tongues at it, which results in them not knowing any! Being true to the sound & the recording techniques of the past (I wonder if they knew what they were doing!), the band from Lechaion, Greece presents to all music enthusiasts 10 minus 1 songs which cover the wide spectrum of what’s known today as instrumental music. Music for films, pure 60’s surf, moody fuzz parts, doo-wop attempts and of course exotica, all find their place in their 2nd full length release Extreme Guitar Conditions. A hymn to guitar based instrumental music! So sit back, relax in your armchair, in your car or in front of your lousy laptop speakers and play it loud… or quiet! As you enjoy it most or as it annoys you less!”
