Raul Refree is one of the most acclaimed Spanish producers of the last decade. Working with ground breaking artists such as Silvia P?rez Cruz and Rosal?a he has been at the forefront of the so-called ?new flamenco? movement. He also collaborates with rock experimentalists like Lee Ranaldo from Sonic Youth ? both playing in his band and co-producing Lee?s last album ?Electric Trim.? But Raul?s musical life doesn?t stop there. He is also a noted songwriter/composer/musician who has released 6 previous solo albums, acclaimed film soundtracks and an overflowing discography of genre-skewing projects. It is this merging of soundworlds that makes Raul?s new solo release La Otra Mitad (The Other Half) - under the moniker Refree - such an immersive and transportive listen. Mesmerizing acoustic and electric guitar explorations meet sampled street recordings, haunted voices and hushed electronics. Nuanced and boundless.
