AIXOPLUC (Conviure) from AIXOPLUC by ROSCO CHAPEL

3. AIXOPLUC (Conviure)

When you swap the city for the countryside, co-existence shifts from having to live together with mainly human animals (a lot of them!) to mostly non-human animals (a lot of them!) and the forces of nature. You have to (learn to) live together with the creatures in whose territories you decided to settle down, as well as with the climatic changes and their effects, which are all the more present when living on an olive finca without irrigation. This punky song, listing a portion of with what to co-exist here, is appropriately set in the Catalan language, honouring my new adoptive country and making it a truly local product. But, co-existence has limits, like everything that lives has limits: so, no ants or flies in the kitchen, no mosquitos in the bedroom…

Rosco Chapel are a trinity composed of a female and a male Aquarius and a Virgo female. They produce down to earth, yet angelic sounding lo-fi noise in an organic way. They are more about cactuses than roses, more like olive trees than cypresses. They like open roads, not closed gates. Their music is filmic like a Western movie in cinemascope format, but poetically realistic at the same time.
