New single 'You Are You' Out Now

"I originally wrote this song about my hairless dog Ingrid," explains Luis. "I always walk around the house lovingly saying 'what are you?', 'who are you?'. Just as surprised every time. Like most songs, the original idea stretches and becomes wider. It ended up being a song about humanity as a whole. A positive whisper to carry on.

Attawalpa began life as a de facto solo project. “At first it was me and [producer/bassist/co-conspirator] Matt Allchin”, Felber recalls, but slowly it’s grown into this seven-piece family, in which everyone’s creative, and we all have each other’s backs”. That ‘family’ – drummer Henry Danowski, veteran percussionist Maurizio Ravalico (Jamiroquai), Viola player Freya Hicks, keyboardist/tubular bell player Adam Sopp, Cellist Haydn Winn and multi-instrumentalist Matt Jones, in addition to lynchpins Felber and Allchin – are responsible for the co-construction of 'Experience', an album whose vivid, hook-laden sonic vocabulary helps upgrade the shapeshifting baroque pop-rock and mooching groove template of Attawalpa’s debut longplayer, 'Presence', which charmed critics back in the autumn of 2022. For Felber, having the luxury of a well-drilled, empathetic ensemble has been revelatory. “I’ve never been in a band where everything felt so positive”, he affirms. “We recorded it all live as soon as we felt we had the right palette for the song”.

The new single 'You Are You'. Taken from his second album 'EXPERIENCE', which came out earlier this month on Attawalpa Records, the single is accompanied by an inspired, animated video directed by Esme Blegvad. 'You Are You' is the follow-up single to 'True Love Trajectory', which serves as the perfect season finale closing track for 'Too Much', the Netflix series that Luis has co-created and co-written alongside his soulmate in art and life, the writer and filmmaker Lena Dunham.
