about

Straight from the long warm summers of Valencia, Fighting Lion’s new EP A Convenient Place sparkles with fireworks, sunsets and a commitment to embrace life’s every moment.

Produced by Álvaro Menéndez, the EP comprises seven short pieces featuring ukulele, piano and glockenspiel. From the excitement of the opener ‘A Joyful Wait’ to the serenity of ‘Passing Clouds’ and the simple bliss of ‘Fireworks shine on your face’ A Convenient Place takes the listener on a journey from sun dappled hills, to crisp evenings, and late romantic nights. For Menéndez music is a way of reaching a state of mind which is full of light, wisdom and courage. “It has to do with accepting what has happened and what is to come, it has to do with living with intensity in a sensitive way,” he says. Luckily for us Menéndez’s Convenient Place is also one of great beauty. It is a place which challenges the truism that sadness is more profound than happiness and compels us all to approach life with a fearless energy, much like a Fighting Lion.

All tracks by Álvaro Menéndez.
Mastered by Jason Corder.

Isthmus
by 9T Antiope

supported by 4 fans who also own “A Convenient Place”

I did not find this the easiest or most immediate album to get into on first listen, but on repeated listens it is really growing on me. Moody Iranian experimental ambient with scraping/droning strings, field recordings, noise, hypnotic folky vocals, and a slightly chaotic, dislocated vibe all of its own. Unusual, haunting, and recommended if you have time to dig past the surface. Very rewarding. David Smith

Mesmerising album that blends fingerpicking guitar with electronic elements. I could listen to this on repeat all night. Jeffrey Postma
