PERLITA es el diminutivo de un apellido que asociamos indefectiblemente con el mundo de la música: Perles. Pedro Perles, líder de Ledatres, púa derecha de Paco Loco, guitarra acústica de Bigott, artista multidisciplinar, ser viviente a jornada completa, se embarca en un nuevo proyecto junto a dos referentes como Calde Ramírez y Esteban Perles.
Un proyecto que es una joya y una flor y un reto minimalista y un atrevimiento colosal. Su nuevo trabajo es pop de envergadura electrónica, melodías pegadizas y dubstep melancólico y guasón para que tú lo bailes. Efluvios de otro tiempo para oídos del futuro. Sonidos del cuerpo para el alma de la fiesta.
Por eso en Perlita conviven múltiples influencias de la misma forma que en un ensayo literario tienen que convivir (y llevarse bien) multitud de opiniones. Talking Heads encontrando a Spandau Ballet en el camerino Jean Michael Jarre. New wave, pero con wave de Cádiz y flow de camarones. Jon Brion tendiendo sábanas en una azotea con un levante del carajo. Música para Spectrum con extras para Amstrad. Armonías que llevamos por dentro y que cuando Pedro, Calde y Esteban se suben al escenario comparten a manos llenas y pulmones vacíos. Y sobre todo otra oportunidad de entender que la música electrónica, hoy en día, lo comprende todo. Que todo lo dice y que todo lo ve.

PERLITA is the diminutive of a surname invariably associated with the music world: Perles. Pedro Perles, frontman of Ledatres, wingman of Paco Loco, the acoustic guitar behind Bigott, multidisciplinary artist and full-time human being, is embarking on a new project alongside two other key figures on the Spanish scene, Calde Ramírez and Esteban Perles.
The project, named (you guessed it!) Perlita, is a gem, a flower, a minimalist challenge, and a colossal act of audacity all at the same time. It's pop thoroughly electrified and electrifying, with catchy melodies, melancholic dubstep and a real sense of humour, made to make you dance. It’s a sudden burst of sounds from another era, created for the ears of the future. It's bodily sounds made for the life and soul of the party.
That's the reason why many different influences live together on Cangrejo Yeti, much in the way different opinions need to stand next to each other (and get along well) in a literary essay. It's like Talking Heads meeting Spandau Ballet backstage at Jean Michael Jarre’s show. It's new wave, but coming from Cádiz on the shrimp boat. It's Jon Brion hanging his wet sheets on a rooftop in a harsh east wind. It's music for Spectrum with some extras for Amstrad. It's harmonies kept inside until the three of them get on stage and share them with the world, their hands full and their lungs out. And most of all, it's our chance to understand that electronic music is now part of everything. It hears everything, it sees everything, and it says everything.
