Andres y Xavi

A wise man once mused, “Defining Balearic is very much akin to nailing lemon jelly to a Las Salinas beach hut; messy, sure, but ultimately a lot of fun”. Ibicencos brothers Andres y Xavi's story is a simple one: Andres knew how to make music; Xavi knew the music they needed make… It’s the alternative sound of the Balearics. Inspired by the remote side of the white isle: it’s dusty trails, remote rocky outcrops and deserted beaches; it’s chance encounters with random strangers who become lifelong friends; it’s sunsets and sunrises and a far cry from the big names and high prices. Each track is a love letter to the spirit of the island that enticed open-minded souls there generations (of love) ago.

Support for ‘Vibraciones y sentimientos’ has already come from Leo Mas, Chris Coco, Phil Cooper, Balearic Ultras, Music for Dreams, Ibiza Sonica, Soft Rocks and many more. Dr Rob, in his Ban Ban Ton Ton blog (https://banbantonton.com/2019/07/02/andres-y-xavi-vibraciones-y-sentimientos/) sets the scene: “smokey Muscle Shoals organ plays, strings swoon, and Kosmische synths blink like distant stars … Shadow-esque breaks … like The Stone Roses by way of Horsebeach”

Lead track ‘My Alibi’ was included on the critically acclaimed Eclectics compilation ‘Love, Love, Love volume one’ and has garnered further praise: Danny Psychemagik said: “My Alibi is the jam for me, sunset vibes” Sunset vibes indeed, or, as we say ,‘vibraciones’.
