Former
Duncan Dhu's vocalist
Mikel Erentxun's long solo career harks back to 1992's
Naufragios. His 2012 outing,
24 Golpes, is intended as both a return to his roots and a new point of departure. Analogically recorded by co-producer
Henry Hirsch (
Lenny Kravitz) in New York, the album unveils
Erentxun's new singing voice, noticeably harsher than in the past, in a collection of ten originals of stripped-down classic rock, with heartfelt, pensive lyrics written by
Erentxun with the collaboration of Jesús María Corman,
José Ignacio Lapido, and
Rafael Berrio. ~ Mariano Prunes
