New Buildings – Your Message [12''] (1984, Klamm Records)

 

New Buildings formed in Barcelona in early 1982 by Jeanette (vocals), Gat Castaño (bass), Juan Morales (drums) and Mireia Tejero (sax). While the first two members of the group, Jeanette and Gat, came from Ultratruita, Mireia, the latest addition, had played in groups like Error Genético or De Tacón. Gat was also part of other groups such as Basura, Truita Perfecta, Error Genético or UMBN Aleatoria; and Juan Morales from Primera Línea. 

 

The group's name is in honor of Einturzende Neubauten (translated as "New Buildings Collapsing"). New Buildings were structured with the intention of putting into practice an aesthetically committed music, feasibly evolutionist and with certain free schemes. The influences range from Van der Graaf Generator to Robert Fripp and Romeo Void. They have not advanced too much in their style, compared to what they had done before, but you can't deny them the desire and some extremely elaborated albums. The monastic sound of Joy Division marked the path of Gat, while Jeanette approached the hysterical register of Nina Hagen, towards the penumbras where Siouxsie performed wonderfully. 

 

They even toured Europe, such as France and Germany. In 1982 they edited, in cassette format, and self-financed, 'Historias Para Largos Recorridos'. In 1983 they released another cassette with their live performance in Germany, 'Live in Germany'. In December 1983 they performed at the Festival "Va de lona Viva", held at the Pabellón de La Plana in Badalona together with similar bands (Donación Agnelli, Kremlin and Claustrofobia). Later they released a couple of maxis for the Klamm label: in 1983 'Le Dernièr Homme' and in 1984 'Your Message'. [SOURCE: GRUPOS NACIONALES NUEVA OLA 80]
