2010 release. Madrileña offers 10 new tunes sung in Spanish that thrive in a personal songwriting coming from Abel Hernández's (ex-Migala) both his emotional and musical roots, where chamber pop collides with orchestral folk ballads in a graceful blend of storytelling (many of the songs are about several characters living in Madrid) and rich instrumentation. Anyone with a soft spot for Sufjan Stevens, Iron & Wine or Pascal Comelade could fall for El Hijo as well.
