***AMOR DE DIAS, the collaboration between ALASDAIR MACLEAN (THE CLIENTELE) and LUPE NUNEZ-FERNANDEZ (PIPAS), release their sophomore album The House at Sea. While debut Street of the Love of Days took three years to make, The House at Sea was recorded and mixed in only nine days. As a result, the sessions centered around a smaller band—the twin Spanish guitars and voices of Núñez-Fernández and MacLean, and an occasional rhythm section of JAMES HORNSEY and HOWARD MONK, both formerly of The Clientele. The fast pace of the sessions resulted in a rawer, more urgent album, recorded by BRIAN O’SHAUGHNESSY (My Bloody Valentine, Primal Scream, Denim, Birdie) on 1970s valve equipment with a feeling for space and a deliberately limited palette, all the elements of which had to count. The House at Sea is a snapshot of a year’s songs written in London and Madrid. There are pop songs, delirious dream accounts, strange lyrical puzzles, and stories from the city and the suburbs. The theme of the sea threads its way throughout the record along with a gentle sense of drifting and departure, of being lost, of saudade—a sadness at lost things. No Export.
