“Después de llover” is about musical conversations between two people who have only recently met; they come from very different places, do not speak the same languages, and perhaps have little in common other than the resonance of their instruments. This encounter leads them to explore an imaginary world where they share sounds to build a place where they can go and play with the moisture of the plants growing in the water, listen to the pudus playing with the herons, rest on the floripondios, and perhaps stay there waiting for the rain to return.
These pieces were recorded on summer day in 2025 at Indrė’s house with kanklės, txompe, and violin.

“ Después de llover ” son conversaciones sonoras de dos personas que se conocen desde hace poco tiempo, vienen de lugares muy diferentes, no hablan las mismas lenguas y tal vez no tienen tanto en común más que la resonancia de sus instrumentos. Este encuentro les lleva a explorar un mundo imaginario donde comparten sonidos para construir un lugar donde poder ir a jugar con la humedad de las plantas que crecen en el agua, ir a escuchar a los pudus jugar con las garzas, ir a descansar sobre los floripondios y tal vez quedarse ahí a esperar a que regrese la lluvia.

Estas piezas fueron grabadas en el verano de 2025 en la casa de Indre con kanklės, txompe y violín.

🌽 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“.
