EL PETIT DE CAL ERIL

EL PETIT DE CAL ERIL begin their own particular odyssey. They sink into the sea like a piece of lead, learn to breathe underwater, become the object of scientific research, take off into space, and on seeing their very integrity threatened, become plankton and float around invisible everywhere. These lyrics of a song could summarize their musical journey. EL PETIT DE CAL ERIL reinvent themselves on each album, avoiding any predictable paths, and while looking as if they have never broken so much as a plate, what they do break are moulds. After three unique and excellent albums —Per què es grillen les patates? (2007), I les sargantanes al sol (2009) and Vol i dol (2010)—, they are now publishing their double album La figura del buit (2013).
