In a Spanish summer of 1998, it emerged, in Tres Cantos, a municipality located in Madrid, Old Morla, a sextet today made up of Juan Pedro Martín (“Pucho”), David García (“el Indio”), Jorge González, Guille Galván, Juanma Latorre and Álvaro B. Baglietto. This day, almost twenty-six years away, they announced a momentary cut.
Through your account Xwhere they communicate constantly, they announced the news:
“About a year ago, in the final leg of the Cable to Earth tour, the six of us made the decision to take a break. Stop, try for a while to live outside the orbit of Vetusta Morla. The concerts were being incredible, the public responded wonderfully but we began to be certain that we had to put on the brakes.”
However, the decision, they say, “caught them surrounded by new songs in their hands.” So, they did what many artists do but that they had never done: enter the studio in the middle of the tour to then focus on the music “to forget all the noise that was around and record new songs. (…) One, then another, without a precise plan, without a concept that would serve as a prior umbrella.”

It became a crossroads, according to what they say in their letter. They finished the tour and at the same time an album, meaning that looking for rest more work was in the offing. And even though they thought they would take it out suddenly and then just disappear. However, they have released songs “without making too much noise, like someone who leaves a gift at the door of the house, rings the doorbell and leaves without being recognized.” That’s how they launched The Sheet of my Ghostslater Bridges and Cathedrals and, as in ellipsis, soon, as a last preview, Oh, Madrid!.
The recess, it is inferred, does not mean an end point. “If everything goes well we will get together again in 2026,” they confess. “Until then we will see the action from other places, we will push other projects, we will dedicate our time to enjoying and taking care of our people, putting in more washing machines. In short, live and enjoy life.”

Extras
Although the rest of Vetusta Morla is imminent, they will end up where they are. They will take advantage, they say, of the commitments they already had made to reach out and present Extrasthe new album, as it should. When and where? No more than from May to September, “with the dates that are already scheduled and perhaps some more details that excite us“, they confess. Fortune will fall only in Spain. No more, neither Europe nor Latin America nor the rest.
It will be at the end of May that the album arrives with the same secrecy of “those who do not expect protagonists and go unnoticed.” By May 31, the album will be available on all digital platforms. Physical editions, as always, available on their website.
“Without plans around, without any strategy other than sharing what excites you. There will be no corkscrews or fireworks. There will be no video clips or exclusives. But they are songs that break the bank, at least for us, and that are worth sharing live“, they conclude.
