The Unfinished Sympathy – This Living Kills CD
After their latest work An investment in logistics was considered the best national album of 2003 according to Mondo Sonoro magazine and appeared in prominent positions in the lists of most music publications, The Unfinished Sympathy are ready to offer us their third full-length in September 2004. As a preview, this wonderful single, This living kills, offers us something completely new, and genuinely its own. Because the fact that a group is capable of constantly reinventing itself, maintaining and deepening its own personality, and at the same time fearlessly incorporating all those elements that it considers appropriate in its music, undoubtedly makes it a living, creative group. And, on this occasion, The Unfinished Sympathy have reached a point where their personality goes beyond stylistic corseting; whatever they do, they are recognized. And that is something that few groups can boast of, even more so when the copy, the clone, is what prevails. This living kills is a sad song, like the song of a dying person who refuses to stop dancing, who feels that their feet no longer respond to the orders of the brain because they know that, if they stop, perhaps no one will be able to make them dance again . You can make me walk for miles and miles and I can make you dance for days. We will end up exhausted, but there is no alternative: this life is killing us. But better to die of exhaustion than of boredom. As Katherine Hepburn said, living kills.
The single is accompanied by three exclusive songs: the version of the classic Teenage kicks by Undertones, the unreleased Peñaflor and a live version of Prayers for time (from their previous album) recorded last March. The next appointment will be in September 2004, with eleven new songs (including This living kills) that have been recorded during this month of April on the Costa Brava by Xavi Navarro and Santi García. Until then!
