The Barcelona group Brighton 64, a reference in the Spanish 'mod' scene, presents the 20 songs from "El tren de la witch", their first double album. Their joyful melancholy was falsely closed years ago, it returned to reopen a new stage, and now I believe that they are in a moment of colossal technique and maturity.

Luck, good and bad, took them on different paths, but now in perspective and seeing their current state I think that perhaps there is more positive than negative. They are veterans, but in these times and the decline of rock n'roll, more than welcome they become essential. They return comes with vital sixties-style sounds and lively and dynamic power pop.

The writer Carlos Zanón has collaborated closely in the conception of the album. His is this text that accompanies his publication: «You get on the witch train and everything is fast and exciting, Rai. And you're stumbling around and there are screams and nights and lights and alcohol and drugs and arms wrapped around your neck and beds and rehearsal rooms and small packed rooms and hangovers and motorcycle trips and the car of your witch train rushes down. speed against that wall and you know that you are going to break your neck, that you have bet everything on a number and you are going to lose everything while you feel like you win it but at the last moment, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter at all, at the last moment, you keep running, rattling on rails, the curse of 27, of 37, of 1,007″ (*Review by José Fradejas ).
