FANUELLE is a very peculiar guy. Living in New York, he complains about the noise of his city and says that he needs earplugs to go through the street. That's why he recognizes the silence as a way to get the inspiration. The lack of sound to find his music. Or those small everyday acts that remains in the subconscious of the songwriter: the way of moving of someone that crosses fast the street, a good nap, a cigarette. Sometimes inspiration is in the small things, and he knows that.

 But if there is something that nobody doubts is that his music is been conceived on the beauty: the melody in his pop against the fury is evident in some tracks: "I've Been Killing, So", "J", or "Million", while the use of synthetic instruments is something obvious that, as he says, makes balance with an un-synthetic voice. And, of course, the spoken word genre (with TV samples, radio, films) that works as a thematic and narrative elements where other people might use a guitar solo ("Rough Stuff"). As a result we can find songs that, despite his artificial package, turn out to be more physical than it seems.

 After all we talk about pop, and if not you should respond to "Dirty Loverstuff" and you will find the keys of FANUELLE's music. From Broadway to the industrial music, from PET SHOP BOYS to BRIAN ENO and SUICIDE. All this without forgetting that for the musician New York is in fact a great source of inspiration: the way a supermarket's door is open or a cashier just by the way the numbers are pressed on her register, for example.

 FANUELLE boasts about the fact of not having put on any Cd in three years, but of course everything has an explanation: he likes to listen to music but out of the context, as when he is at a restaurant and sounds a song that inspires him to write something later. Once he has digested it, melody comes to his head.

 As a result of accidentally way of listening to music he writes his songs, those who exude romanticism, drama and irony in equal shares. Despite all the poetry that we can find on them (talking about love, murder, sexuality or religiosity), the New Yorquer admits that his best tracks are those who came once he just did pressing "record" and starting to speak directly. FANUELLE debuts with an album that has melodies and a precision orchestration of  synthetic instruments. Thanks to his magic MIDI sequencing and the contrast that this have with his colourful melodies, the musician expects to arrive to all the human ears that are thirsty.
