Juan Castro is a composer and musician from Vigo who was part of the band Maldito Murphy, where he was both the singer and the guitarist as well as contributing all the lyrics and compositions.After two albums and several tours with the band, achieving milestones such as the Maketón award from Los 40 Principales for Best Album of the Year in 2017 with their first album; touring in 2019 with 50 concerts throughout the Iberian Peninsula; or having the featuring of Mikel Erentxun in a song of their second album, Juan finds himself at the end of 2022 with an existential hiatus of the group that, as of today, not even the members themselves know if the group will have continuity or not.Faced with this hiatus, Juan decides that he is going to make a solo album, and never better said, as he has been in charge of the production, mixing, mastering and playing all the instruments by himself; as well as the lyrics, he has also been in charge of the graphic design. The result of all this is a very personal album.Juan started writing songs specifically for the album, he didn't want to take advantage of any songs that had already been written for the band; he wanted to start from scratch and write freely whatever came to him, without the yoke of writing for a band of four very different personalities and tastes.On this first album, Juan moves away from Americana and country with new songs that approach a more British sound, some close to The Smiths and some others evoking a bit of power pop.
