Английская Википедия:Elíal
Elíal is a Castilian Spanish experimental pop band from Valencia, Spain.[1] The band was founded by Alberto Amar (vocals, guitar, and piano) and Eli m Rufat (vocals and synths) in July 2012.[2] Their influences include artists like James Blake, Portishead, Piratas, or Radiohead.[3]
History
The name "Elíal" originated from Amar and Rufat's prior work together as visual artists, in which they would sign their work as such.[4] In their first year together, Elíal released their self-titled debut EP produced by Pablo Silva.[5] Initially the band consisted of only Amar and Rufat, but by November 2012, they were joined by Dani Odisseu (guitar).[6] That month, the EP was officially launched with a concert at the Sala Wa Wa in Valencia. The show was positively reviewed, being described as a "cosmic spectacle"[7] as well as "conquering and convincing".[8] They have since performed regularly in Valencia and Madrid.[9] Their first full album, Dentro, was released in the fall of 2014. It was recorded in the mountains of Cuenca, and produced by Suso Saiz.[10][11]
