Amor de Días—the duo of Alasdair Maclean (Clientele) and Lupe Núñez-Fernández (Pipas)—just released debut album Street Of The Love Of Days via Merge. (Those of you who speak Spanish know that the band’s moniker translates to “love of days,” hence the album title.) Maclean and Núñez-Fernández worked on the 15-track LP for more than three years, and it features guest spots by the likes of Louis Philippe, Damon & Naomi, Gary Olson (Ladybug Transistor) and Danny Manners. Maclean and Núñez-Fernández will also be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our brand new Q&A with them.
Núñez-Fernández: I’ve been a huge Comet Gain fan for as long as I can remember. I think David is an amazing songwriter, I’m forever in awe of Rachel’s singing, and you can’t beat seeing the whole band doing their thing live. To me, they are the spirit of collective diy. My first band, Pipas, was definitely inspired by them. One of my favorite things about living in London has always been being able to go to their shows, so imagine my excitement when I got to see them in the studio last year working on their new album and getting to sing “oooohs” and “aahs” on a couple of their songs. Maybe I’m partial, but I think it’s their best yet. They are still completely unparalleled. Their music will save us.
