Album Description

Irene R. Tremblay is an atypical case in Spain's music scene for various reasons. First of all because of her stark & brave approach to performing: just her voice & guitar sometimes backed by atmospheric drumming.

"The artists on Spain's most innovative underground music label (Acuarela) is now being spread across the United States by the fine folks with exquisite taste at Darla (who just happen to be a great little label themselves). We were particularly pleased to receive this CD, because we were mighty impressed with the debut EP that we had previously reviewed by Aroah. Aroah is an enchanting young lady who sings half of her music in English and half in Spanish. She had already set a fire burning in the minds of reviewers and underground music fans...and this album is going to solidify her already firm fan base. If there are two words that surely describe this album...they are "sincere" and "unpretentious." Aroah writes and sings from her heart. Her music is uncluttered...using only essential instruments and simple arrangements to get her point across. The sometimes stark sound works wonderfully with her style of writing...making No Podemos Ser Amigos (which means We Can't Be Friends"in English) an absolute MUST HAVE. Beautiful tracks like "Myriam, La Primera," "Happiness Avoids Me," and "Tell Noah About the Rain" will sound great decades from now. Truly beautiful stuff. The peeps should check it out!!!!!!"
