New release: KooLTURE - Uncovered

The wait for KooLTURE's debut album is finally over. Available in CD and as a digital download.

Eternal Sunday presents Uncovered, the first album by KooLTURE, the project of producer, singer and songwriter José Tramontini. KooLTURE has made a name for himself in the international electropop underground scene, as a result of releasing high quality digital singles and EP's, catchy and dance oriented. KooLTURE has fans all over the world (his MySpace profile has more that 25,000 friends) and these fans demanded to hear KooLTURE's first long play album. The wait is over.

Uncovered is just as it was expected: a brilliant piece, a collection of the finest catchy electropop (most lyrics in English, a couple in Spanish) perfect for dancing, having fun, think about and get touched by the lyrics. A pop kaleidoscope with retro and disco touches, a subtle gay aesthetic, intelligent lyrics, radio choruses, hidden remixes, a luxury packaging and lots of tiger skin.

The songs are instant hits that take us, among others, to the inhibited freshness of "Stupid SuperStar", the reflection about fans and fame of "Fanatic Boy", to the problems and the ecstasy of love of "A Look At Me", "Absolutely True" and "Like A Cat" which give way to the almost metaphysical considerations of the two songs in Spanish, "Irónico" and "Vuelo Fugaz". Fame, success, glamour, dance, nightlife, complicated human relationships, to love and to be loved, the meaning of life, all of KooLTURE's usual themes are present in these 12 tracks with memorable choruses.

The influences are there: Pet Shop Boys, Erasure, New Order, Madonna, 80's and 90's electropop, disco music, pop culture and a subtle gay touch apt for everyone.

The album was co produced by KooLTURE, Sgoliat, Diego Puerta y Sygma (renowned DJ and producer from Roma, Italia) and remixed by y Ladies On Mars (who also mastered the album) and the young PJ Rose. Several musicians appear as guests.

Nuevo lanzamiento: KooLTURE - Uncovered

La espera por el esperado álbum debut de KooLTURE llega a su fin. CD y descarga digital.

Eternal Sunday presenta Uncovered, el álbum debut de KooLTURE, el proyecto del productor, cantante y compositor José Tramontini. KooLTURE ha ido forjándose un lugar de privilegio en la escena internacional del electropop undergrund a fuerza de lanzar singles y EP's digitales de gran calidad, pegadizos y bailables, ganando muchos fans y admiradores (su MySpace tiene más de 25.000 amigos).

Uncovered es tal como se lo esperaba: brillante de principio a fin, una colección del más puro electropop pegadizo (mayoría de letras en inglés, un par en español) apto para bailar, divertirse, reflexionar y conmoverse. Un calidoscopio pop con toques retro, guiños disco, estética gay, letras inteligentes, estribillos para la radio, remixes ocultos, un packaging de lujo de tres cuerpos y mucha piel de tigre.

Las canciones son hits instantáneos que nos pasean entre otras por la frescura descarada de "Stupid SuperStar", la reflexión sobre los fans y el éxito de "Fanatic boy", por los desplantes y el éxtasis amorosos reflejados en "A Look At Me", "Absolutely True" o "Like A Cat", y nos abren paso a la cuasi reflexión metafísica de "Irónico" y "Vuelo Fugaz". La fama, el éxito, el glamour, el baile y la noche, las relaciones humanas complicadas, amar y ser amados, el sentido de la vida, toda la temática habitual de KooLTURE están presentes en estos 12 tracks con estribillos memorables.

Las influencias son las esperables: Pet Shop Boys, Erasure, New Order, Madonna, electropop de los '80 y '90 en general, música disco, cultura pop y un sutil toque gay apto para todo el mundo.

El álbum ha sido coproducido por KooLTURE, Sgoliat, Diego Puerta y Sygma (renombrado DJ productor de Roma, Italia) y cuenta también con la colaboración de los remixers Ladies On Mars (emergente en la escena underground electrónica de Buenos Aires) y el joven PJ Rose. Se suman también al proyecto músicos y vocalistas invitados.

Uncovered verá la luz en bateas y tiendas digitales el 20 de enero de 2009.
