Curicó, Chilé

José Tomás Labarthe (1984) is a chilean musician and writer. Member of the bands Sonic Dealer, Los Detectives Salvajes and Station Wagon, 1984 is his solo project, a dreamy concept of ambient music, instrumental rock and new wave for the everyday. Under the hashtag #makesomeambient he tries to accomplish the same goal in some of his texts that in his songs. Ethereal soundscapes, vocal-like guitar melodies rooted in heartland and americana. Atmospherics freakouts than cascade and flow easily into meditative states, all mashup in a minimalistic way due to his home studio setup, a Tascam portastudio 12 tracks in an old house of the Central Valley of Chile, Curicó. He translated Mark Lanegan poetry into Spanish, in a colection entitled "Mil millas de medianoche" (2024). More info at: jtlabarthe.cl
