======== COSAQUITOS EN GLOBO =======
It's time for the pop synthwave duo Cosaquitos en Globo to present their vocal song "Recall" from their 3 track single "Recall" released in 2020.
Discover their interview...
● What brought you to synthwave music?
We released our first album in 2005. At that time we didn't know Synthwave (I think it didn't exist), but we made an album of 80s influenced Synthpop because we love the sound of that era, and a lot of the songs ended sounding like what we nowadays know as Synthwave. One of the songs of that album (Fantasy) was included in a Synthwave compilation a few years ago.
After that, we made a couple of albums exploring the edges of Synthpop and Electro, but always with some 80s influence.
When we started working on our fourth album we wanted to get back to the feeling and sound of the first album. At that point we already knew about Synthwave; we were listening to Kavinsky, Arcade High, Nina, etc. So, in 2017 we released "Humanum" which is our first intentional Synthwave sounding album and after that, we released a couple of EPs in the same vein.
● How do you define the spirit of your music?
We like to think of it as songs you can dance to... Most of them have a melancholic feel, but also they are full of energy, even the slower ones.
But also, if you want to lay back and listen, there is a world of layers and sensations you can unveil in terms of lyrics and soundscapes.
● What are your references?
As we grew up in the 80s, most of our influences come from that era. We love Giorgio Moroder, Duran Duran, Human League, Depeche Mode, New Order, The Cure, David Bowie, Prince, but also we like music from any time.
We also love Sci-Fi movies and series, so we are influenced by Blade Runner, Logan's Run, Star Wars, etc.
● What is your musical background (studies, self-taught, etc.)?
♪ Sebastian: I studied Sound & Recording at University, so I have a more technical background. Musically I'm self-taught, I started to make music with a Commodore 64 when I was a kid in the 80s and after that, I just couldn't stop.
♪ Maru: I took singing lessons privately, from pop to bel canto styles, and also did part of my studies at the conservatory of music in my hometown, but didn't feel like pursuing.
In terms of songwriting, I am a hundred percent self-taught. I don't remember a moment in my life when I was not trying to put words and create melodies every time I listened to an instrumental song.
It was quite annoying for the people that were around me.
● Where are you in your musical journey (release, label, collaborations ...)?
We already released 4 albums and 3 EPs, some releases are independent, and some under labels like Aztec Records, Alfa Matrix, Electro London Records among others.
Recently, we collaborated with Midnight Fighters, SoftWave and we plan to do some more collaborations for the upcoming songs, soon.
Our latest EP called "Recall" was released this year and now we are starting to work on a new album to be released hopefully next year.
● What is the secret for you to good synthwave music?
Good songs, for us everything is about the song.
● If we had to listen to just one music from you, which one would it be?
It is hard to say, but we think that at the moment "Recall" is one of our most representative songs we have.
