CAPTAINS son el cuarteto que se empezó a formar cuando el productor David Baldo y la cantante alemana Fee Reega se encuentran en enero 2015 con la idea de grabar alguna de sus nuevas composiciones. De esa manera tan espontánea surge un proyecto completamente nuevo al que poco más tarde se unieron Oskar SD (batería) y Aaron Dall (bajo) como sección rítmica. Desde entonces y hasta su fichaje por Jabalina en diciembre de 2016, además de realizar numerosos conciertos en salas y festivales (Monkey Week, Gijón Sound, Salinas Surf, Music and Friends, Tócala Sam, Shikillo, Autoplacer y Santander Music, entre otros), han ganado el Concurso de maquetas del festival Autoplacer, fueron nominados para los UK Video Music Video Awards con el clip de "Heavy Metal Works“ (Amar Hernández), que ganó también el Soundie al mejor director y han empezado 2017 siendo elegidos "Artista emergente 2016" por los oyentes del programa Disco Grande de Radio 3.

Como no podía ser de otro modo, el primer álbum de CAPTAINS (de título homónimo) publicado en marzo de 2017, es el resultado de la explosiva unión del productor David Baldo y la cantante alemana Fee Reega. Diez temas producto de una singular colisión en los que la mezcla de influencias musicales con la carismática voz de Fee, por momentos trémula, siempre funciona, a veces de modo sorprendente. Desde la electrónica al post-punk o del pop al folk, los ambientes y las melodías cristalizan como por misterio de alquimia en un sonido muy personal. Una actitud transgresora que también tiene reflejo en unos textos (principalmente en inglés, pero también en español y en alemán) de tinte autobiográfico que parten de un impulso rebelde y catártico.

 

Letras “Captains”:

 

1. "I ́m Your Ship"

I ́m your ship, navigate me
your hands are looking for something inside me
and it looks like they found it.

I want to hit you again
I want to hit you again
I want to hit you again and bite the bones of your hips and kiss into your big lips

But now get out of here while everything is sleeping  and if we ́re lucky, another day we ́ll be meeting
now get out of here and be sure you hide
and another day I ́ll tell you something  ́bout my life

Shiver, shiver, cause I ́ll calm you down
shiver shiver cause I ́ll calm you down.

I ́m your ship, navigate me.

 

2. "Heavy Metal Works"

There ́s a metal factory inside my body  all day long - heavy metal works

Machines on fire, steam and wire, chimneys smoking, big desire,
ovens burning,
drive me wilder

My handsome worker, my driver, drive me and drive me wild and wilder heavy metal works in my body parts, strong men solding,
flying fire sparks, flying fire sparks, flying fire sparks,
flying fire sparks fly from dirty hearts being mine the dirtiest of all.

 

3. "Noisy"

The sea ́s real noisy now,
the fire ́s real noisy, too
the shadows make noise when they move along the red brick walls
and I ́m noisy, too, when you move into me

I fall asleep and wake up and fall asleep and wake up
and fall asleep and wake up and fall asleep again
I wait for the day to kick in but it takes its time,
the waves are loud.

And from far away I see car lights and it freaks me out
so I put the gun next to my pillow and then I ́m able to sleep
And I dream that the waves had taken our car away
I can hear it smashing against the rocks, I can see it floating in the water
like a big dead whale.

The shooting, the biting, the shooting, the biting
it ́s not called love, it ́s called fighting.

And now I will write the morning in,
so I can see your face again
only for that reason, only for that reason, only for that reason, only for that reason  because if it was up to me,
this night could last a long long long long long long time.

The shooting, the biting, the shooting, the biting
it ́s not called love, it ́s called fighting.

The shooting, the biting, the shooting, the biting
it ́s not called love,
it ́s called war.

 

4. "Gracias por dejarme"

Mis manos destrozados de los fuegos artificiales
que encendí para celebrar mi libertad.
Gracias por dejarme, estoy feliz e intocable
y te mando recuerdos de la otra parte de la ciudad.

Vivo en el puerto y encontré un hombre muerto
y lo reviví para que sea mi nuevo novio.
Tiene la fuerza de un obrero y la clase de un camionero
y es todo un rockero.

Gracias por dejarme, estoy feliz e intocable
y te mando recuerdos de la otra parte de la ciudad.

 

5. "Shoot"

I built a museum inside my bedroom
and not a single piece there still reminds of you  some images in my head though
are still connected to you
and I try to put them to bed now,
but they don ́t want to

By and by I forget the material of your skin
and then I don ́t remember
which key you sing in
there are some songs though
that are always connected to you
and I try to make them shut up
but they never do

And there are some people
that are always connected to you
and I try to let them live
but then I have to...

 

6. "Touch Me, I ́m Driving"

The road is long and wet, the highway is so high. I ́m driving with you by my side
and changing the gear expresses exactly what I feel  and taking on speed expresses exactly what I need
touch me, I ́m driving

Can you see my sweat against the sunset? Your hand is in my lap.
The colour of the sky and you are by my side  your hand is on my thigh.
and taking on speed expresses exactly what I need  and changing the gear expresses exactly how I feel
Touch me, I ́m driving

 

7. "Car Thief"

On the way to see me with a stolen car  the mist was lying thick and white
on the countryside
you did it to come and see me:
break the door and drive

Four days we hid away from the world   and only lived on whiskey and love  and I lost my job

There ́s absolutely nothing wrong about this, you said  there ́s absolutely nothing fake about this, you said

you ́re a skilled car thief
and I wish you stole one now and came to me  you ́re a skilled car thief
and I wish you stole one now and came to me  and came to me
and came to me

Four days we hid away from the world  and only lived on whiskey and love

 

8. "How He Disappears"

This fire ball traverses all your torso
and rises to your brains where it detonates
your limbs do uncontrollable things
wounds appear there and you disappear here

Kill me first, I don ́t wanna see how you disperse
Kill me first, I don ́t wanna see how he disperses
Kill me first, I don ́t wanna see how you disappear  How you disappear

Gather all possible passion inside my person
and it ́s a gift to you who receives it
and I will kiss your strange tongue surface
and not miss a single one of your long list of diseases
Kill me first, I don ́t wanna how you disperse
Kill me first, I don ́t wanna see how he disperses
Kill me first, I don ́t wanna see how

I don ́t wanna see how he
I don ́t wanna see how he disappears
how he disappears
how he
how

 

9. "Schwarzes Wasser"

Schwarzes Wasser schluckt den weißen Körper ganz
und ein Ruck geht durch den gesamten Ozean
und das Mondlicht richtet sich auf mich
wie eine Waffe zielt es auf mein Gesicht

Ich hab dich lange nicht gesehen,
deine Augen sind das Schönste, das ich kenne
meine Augen sind ein Meer,
schwarzes Wasser schluckt den weißen Körper

Ich hab dich lange nicht gesehen,
deine Augen sind das Schönste, das ich kenne
meine Augen sind ein Meer,
schwarzes Wasser schluckt den weißen Körper

Wenn du in meinem Meer versinkst, musst du darin ertrinken

 

10. "Twisted"

Lonesome in the city, lonesome in the city
a whole life wouldn ́t be full enough of days
to see her coming over here
and for her to speak and not say a thing

don ́t treat me so well
and don ́t do it that badly
but come on over here
if you see that I ́m not breathing
if you see that I am shaking
on this cold floor being my body lying twisted
and not knowing whether you were in one town or the other  or what she was called there
or what I was called here
she looked into the mirror and she laughed,
but she didn ́t remember
