Right after his shows in Austin at the SXSW Festival, Remate will tour the East Coast to present his latest album Una Araña a Punto de Comerse una Mosca.

Remate is multi-instrumentalist Spanish musician trained in classical music since he was 8. In almost a decade of music career, he has become a recognized pop singer-songwriter.

Remate boasts a soulfully croaky voice and a prodigious capacity for spare, fragile, elegantly wonky tunes

—Uncut

Remate has released 8 albums, which have received lots of attention from the Spanish musical press and mass media, and also from some of the most famous European and U.S. magazines and newspapers such as The Village Voice, NPR, Uncut, The Sunday Times and New Musical Express.

He has played several times the main Spanish venues and the best Spanish festivals (FIB, Primavera Sound, BAM). Outside Spain he has played in London, New York, Amsterdam and a long tour around Europe in 2011.

The inflexion point was his double album No Land Recordings and the strengthening came with Superluv. Por lo que tiene de romántico album recorded in NY, produced by LD Beghtol (The Magnetic Fields), with the collaboration and support of The Magnetic Fields leader Stephin Merritt, and many other wonderful musicians that have played with bands such as Antony and The Johnsons, Belle & Sebastian, Devendra Banhart or Patti Smith.

Una Araña a Punto de Comerse una Mosca was released in 2012, the first song collection sung only in Spanish. And he will release a new album in 2013, as well as the debut of his new band, Escarlata (with Israel Marco).

The repertoire for the shows will include songs from his latest album, Una Araña a Punto de Comerse una Mosca (2012, Todos Nosotros / Rockdelux), and some tunes from his previous record Superluv. Por lo que tiene de romántico (2011, Everlasting Records). Also, as usual in Remate’s shows, he will reveal some of the songs from his new album to be released in 2013 (as well as his new band debut —Escarlata— with Israel Marco from Cuchillo.)
