En Carlus releases his new EP with a Barcelona show
- En Carlus has released three new tracks on an EP titled “Vol. 1”
- He will present it live on May 22nd at Paral·lel Club
- A music video for “Manifest generacional” accompanies the release
En Carlus is back with new music just months after the release of his debut LP “La Cova” (Kasba Music, 2025). “Vol. 1”is an EP that finds the singer-songwriter diving headfirst into folk/rock territory. Recorded earlier this year at “El Colmado” in Barcelona, it promises to be the first in a series of releases through which En Carlus reconnects with the influences that shape his sonic univers. The EP opens with “Manifest Generacional”, arguably the most political song on the record, followed by “Epíleg”, a straight-up country song about breakups and open roads, and closes with “No hi ha justícia”, a dark blues about the impossibility of finding peace within this system.
With “Manifest Generacional”, En Carlus takes on the role that so many folk singer-songwriters have played before him: giving voice to the dreams, longings and fears of an entire generation, his own generation. That generation is roughly those born in the 90s (with some from the late 80s and the early 2000s thrown in) people who grew up in a time of relative stability and social calm. The music video captures this through the image of a bedroom, a bubble where everything was fine and problems, fears and worries didn’t exist. But at some point in our lives, illustrated by the screens scattered around the room, that bubble burst, and we had to face adult life head on, fighting for our dreams: we are the generation that witnessed the 2008 financial crisis, the rise of the 15M movement, the general strikes, the fourth wave of feminism, and the Catalan independence process. We have celebrated a handful of victories and endured some painful defeats. The world we’ve inherited as adults is defined by violence, precarity, the climate crisis and the rise of hate speech. But hope remains.
En Carlus presentarà el seu nou EP a la Sala Paral·lel Club de Barcelona el pròxim 22 de maig acompanyat del cantautor folk barceloní Biel Martí.
