Inventor

from Uncelebration by El Caco

/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Release date April 21st 2023

    CD Jewel case



    After 7 long years the Norwegian stoner rock trio El Caco return with a monumental new album.

    With an ever-clenched fist, and 25 years of experience the trio has impressed fans and critics with massive and poignant stoner rock. Uncelebration is no exception, through heavy beats, powerful lyrics and enthralling melody lines, El Caco lulls you in, and hooks the listener from the very first note.

    The album itself is a product of time. Prior to Uncelebration, El Caco had written and released new albums almost every other year, on top of extensive touring. Uncelebration on the other hand needed time and space to grow, and the trio wanted to draw inspiration from other places than rehearsals and gigs.

    The album was built steadily, piece by piece, El Caco comment:

    “It doesn’t feel like 7 years has passed since our last release because we wrote and created music the entire time, but we gave ourselves space on Uncelebration. We would meet up at rehearsals and work out the basic structure of a song. When that was settled the three of us would go our separate ways and continue to work on parts individually in different studios”

    The recording process of Uncelebration diverge from that of previous releases, and the finished album was recorded in nothing less than 4 studios: Drums at Snakehips by Ronny Janssen, bass, keyboards, and percussion at Stop Knocking Studio by Fredrik Wallumrød, guitars by Anders at Oganesh Studios Unlimited, and vocals at Studio 33 by Daniel Bergstrand.

    The result is a dense, and nothing less than impressive album where every element is honed to perfection, but also an album that features a more contemplative and vulnerable side of El Caco. The band elaborates:

    “There hasn’t been a lot to celebrate these last couple of years. Neither in the general world order, nor on a personal level. Uncelebration was born out of this, something which is reflected both in lyrics and in the album theme. The title itself felt like a given description of the current situation. As for the sound, we always seek to evolve, but it is still unmistakably El Caco, After all, we are still the same three people, how we write and the how we play was settled long ago”

    ABOUT EL CACO:

    El Caco (Spanish: thief) started up in 1998 and is set to release their 8th album spring 2023.

    As the band name implies, the band graft their music by “stealing” elements from a wide range of rock history, only to fuse them together. The result is powerful and persuasive stoner rock, with an intoxicating blend of enticing riffs, distorted bass, and outstanding vocals. The band, which have previously released 7 acclaimed albums - several of which have been nominated for the Norwegian Grammy, has managed to build a loyal international fanbase through their nothing but amazing live shows and vigorously international touring.

about

Inventor is a fierce and massive rock track with a melancholic undertone.
This makes it the perfect soundtrack for the cold and unpredictable, yet equally alluring and promising mood of the early spring nights.
Where the long and dark winter nights melt into the soft smell of new life to come.

Inventor is a powerful and hefty song with a catchy melody, and somber vocals – the result is a track that manages to really enforce the lyrics of the song through in balance with the music.

El Caco about the Inventor:

“When every possible way to fix a problem is tried and you have started inventing your own solutions, and it all turns out wrong, then in the end you are facing yourself.
The song and melody is kinda catchy and the vocals rather dark, but it gives the lyrics a nice wrapping.”

lyrics

Lyrics:

It's back on track and to the drawing board
The old inventions don't work no more
The precise sketches - the sharp edges
The motor running - the flawless humming

I'm all tied up - I can not see
If there's a way - I am ready
I am on

It's back to the rulers and acuations
The usual formula don't work no more
The favourite tools- the well oiled machinery
The good result - the perfect cut

This time cunning don't matter
The studies have lost their strength
The problem served is now human
Your own body denying to work

We're jumping down a cliff
We're bouncing up the hill again
We're Looking for a pill
