Komodo García + Negre + The Ripples at OnSeasonFest - Palma

Komodo García + Negre + The Ripples bring together three ways of understanding pop and rock from Mallorca on the same bill: nocturnal pop with electronic touches, synthpop in Catalan with a danceable hook, and rock & roll rooted in classic tradition. At the OnSeasonFest venue the evening is conceived around melodies and vocal hooks rather than sonic grandiosity.

Komodo García explores a luminous pop that moves between the elegant and the ironic, songs designed to stick in the head and nocturnal takes on festival melodies that already appear on the EPs Antes de las 6 and Septiembre; his voice and the keyboards outline landscapes that lean toward the ethereal without losing melodic drive.

Negre brings synthesizers and choruses in Catalan, a direct synthpop that has grown on the stages of the Illes, with tracks that work equally well at parties and in venues thanks to their danceable structure and approachable lyrics.

The Ripples close with a rock & roll that looks to the ’60s and ’70s but seeks a contemporary sound, riffs and melodies that push the atmosphere toward something more choral and energetic.

Putting these three projects together at OnSeasonFest implies a mix of intimate moments and passages for moving, a night that sums up the variety of the local scene in Palma without giving up songs conceived for live performance.
