Band Privé

Band Privé came together in Barcelona, though the details of their formation are a bit hazy. They put out their first album, "Despertar," on their own after some labels passed on it. The record had a moody, synth-heavy feel that caught people's attention.

Their song "Diferente" got them into some trouble when a few critics accused it of referencing drug use. The band said it was just about feeling different, and the track ended up being their most well-known one. It's a good example of how they mix electronic textures with a straightforward indie-rock pulse.

The group includes Alejandra Ghersi, who also records as Arca, on vocals and production, Jaime del Val on guitar, and Carlos Sadness, who adds some lighter melodic touches. They've kept a fairly low profile since those early releases, letting the music speak for itself.
