Standstill have never ceased in their ongoing search for personality and artistic freedom since 1997, with every record, every tour, every colaboration in the theatre scene (they've been working with the spanish theatre company "La Carniceria" since 2000) and every new step they've done. From the angry hardcorepunk of their debut "The Tide", through their evolution in "The Ionic Spell" and "Memories Collector", their acoustic side in "The Latest Kiss" 'till the confirmation of the band: "Standstill". After putting out their latest and critically acclaimed CD "Memories Collector" (2002) and their debut full-lenght "The Ionic spell" (2001), both chosen by the musical press as the best spanish records of 2001 and 2002 they've been in a limbo for nearly two years. On other level, the second ingredient, and the first that comes to our eras, is a voice talking in its own language, that draws paintings while singing. That's the spirit of this record: an exercise in sincerity and coherence that even questions the sense of the existance of the band. The change of language represents one step forward in the coherence of the band, the message and atittude gains importance now, creativity has flown freely and the result is a record where the band has done exactly what they wanted to do. Once again they have won.
