RPS habló con nuestra dibujante favorita de música indie, @otraputacuentadedibujos sobre estar triste, decirlo con perros, la miseria y, por supuesto, su nuevo libro, La Música.

Welcome to another episode of RPS Presents. Today we turn our attention to DIIV. The North American shoegazers returned to Barcelona to present their latest album, A Frog In Boiling Water. An album with a recurring theme protesting late stage capitalism which was augmented with a potent live show with tailor made visuals of fake advertisements, in which the band sell themselves out to the highest bidder among other pieces of socio-political satire. We managed to get all four band members -Zachary Cole Smith Andrew Bailey Colin Caulfield and Ben Newman -  to sit on the steps on the backstage terrace of the Apolo Theatre in Barcelona to talk about the album, inner band dynamics, longevity and the power that goes with building cathedrals of sound.

RPS habló con Jordi Llansamà, director del mítico sello/promotora barcelonesa BCore, sobre su nuevo libro, “Cutter, cola y fotocopias”, publicado para celebrar sus 35 años de vida.

We spoke to journalist Toby Manning about his fascinating new book Mixing Pop and Politics: A Marxist History of Popular Music, the conversation ranging from ABBA to Stereolab and back again.

Two Another are Angus Campbell and Eliot Porter, two friends who met on the beaches of Sydney and started making music together. RPS spoke to them ahead of their gigs in Barcelona and Madrid, to talk about friendship, Pharrell, mental health and the lure of suburbia.

Chloé Caillet joined us at the RPS studio one sunny Tuesday to talk about her new EP, Here to Make you Smile, light versus dark, disco naps, Ibiza, collaboration and the perfect wedding DJ.

RPS spoke to the gothically powerful singer Elisabeth Elektra about her forthcoming album, Hypersigil, spinning spells, the power of pop, reading Tarot and so much more.

RPS habló con la fotógrafa Maty Chevrière sobre su nuevo libro Nudetopia, la terapia de la fotografía y su historia única en el arte.

RPS spoke to WIll Hodgkinson about his incredible new book Street-Level Superstar: A Year With Lawrence, in which he examines the extraordinary life of Felt / Denim / Go-Kart Mozart mainstay Lawrence. It is, quite possibly, the music book of the year and we asked Hodgkinson about everything from taking 2ps to the bank with Lawrence to mental illness, journalistic responsibility and whether Lawrence is actually happy.
