Joan Colomo ‎– La Fília I La Fòbia CD Here there are no half measures or gray, there is no place for lukewarmness: only love and pain, friends and enemies, the end of the world and the joy of living. The family and the phobia do not accept ying and yang: it is all or nothing. Joan Colomo, the Nightingale of Montseny, puts twelve songs round and nutritious as eggs, like the one that opens the album with joy, gives it its name and summarizes the lesson: «Nens i nenes, si us plau feu-me cas / de la fília to the phobia there is a country / everything can begin to have meaning / you and I amagats a dintre del teu llit.» (“Boys and girls, pay attention to me / from philia to phobia there is only one step / maybe everything is starting to make sense / you and I hiding inside your nest.”)The meaning is love, the shelter of the "tu i jo eternamente" of the melancholic Cançó d'amor nº2. Humor is also an anti-aging antidote, as in the first verse of this simple pearl voice and guitar and tender that is Tus pies, «I still don't have a beard / but I'm already getting bald», which is echoed in the «I have spent many good moments / i ara em cauen les dents» «I have had very good moments / and now my teeth are falling» from the exciting Els amigos). And if not, we will always have nihilism, which runs rampant in the enraged Una bala perdida and in Reses sociales, a sonic punch of the first magnitude, a hymn to bounce.On this album you will find slide guitars, synthesizers, screams and murmurs, cutting and resounding distortion, electronic bases, hallucinating choirs and thousands of house-brand keyboards, all at the service of increasingly well-constructed songs: Joan has found the heart of art to make songs and it has taken root there. The fruit of this season is called La fília i la fòbia: a record to take sides.
