🌽 Action Park Sargent: second single of Or Sobre Blau - Making Friends is out now! Come celebrate June 20th for the release at ! 🌽

“Making Friends” is a record about its own making: a reflection on a decade of friendship, on the importance of friend and family bonds (the song “Rachel & Antonia” is named for, and excerpts phone conversations with, both members’ mothers), and the duo’s shared, irrepressible, inexplicable need to play and record music with others. The duo begins the record distant and confused — the first track “Campanilleros” records their agonising attempts to remember how to play music and communicate together (Leonard realises he has more or less forgotten how to speak Spanish) — and they end closer and stronger both as friends and collaborators; sharing, as Serra remarks on the final track “La invitació de l’anguila” (the Eel’s Invitation), “molta il.lusió per lo que pogué vindre” or “much excitement for what may lie ahead“.
