"I was having problems with finding a title and the furthest i got was ink . i wanted it to be like the core of us visceral pagan stile , like the blood in us but even deeper and darker . then my friend gabríela came up with medúlla which seemed perfect."
"I was going to call the album 'Ink', because I wanted it to be like that black, 5,000 year-old blood that's inside us all; an ancient spirit that's passionate and dark, a spirit that survives. Something in me wanted to leave out civilisation, to rewind to before it all happened and work out, 'Where is the human soul? What if we do without civilisation and religion and patriotism, without the stuff that has gone wrong?' When I first moved to New York there was room for immigrants and eccentrics and whoever, then suddenly it became the most scarily patriotic place on earth."
"Then I got drunk -- surprise!- with my artist friend Gabriela and she came up with the title Medúlla. It basically means 'marrow' in medical language, in Latin. Not just you're bone marrow, but marrow in the kidneys and marrow in your hair, too. It's about getting to the essence of something. And with this album being all vocals, that made sense."
good job!!
