«Yet another Spanish talent. And talent is the keyword here.
Plumb & Plumber, also known as Jesús Valle Pazos, comes from Vigo, Galicia, the northwestern spanish province. Cold and wet in the Winter, Sunny and warm in the Summer.
'Organic Feedback' revolves around ambient and cinematic electronica, where tape and field recordings are a warm layer of analog tapestries and dissonant electric guitars explode in a fuzzy and mechanical chaos. These ambient textures share the space with fingerpicked acoustic guitar chords and spaced-out sluggish drones, inviting us to an irresistible journey Through Plumb & Plumber's delicate universe.
You'll hear broken banjos, untuned guitars, steam engine noises, a pope doing some sort of a speech, ground recordings, an old woman singing a lament, 8 bit sounds, shoegazing drones, ambient space music, birds chirping, radio traffic and hiss, tons and tons of hiss. This is almost pure Library Music.
What Plumb & Plumber builds on 'Organic Feedback', with great knowledge of sound editing techniques and a rare and subtle - and genuine - aesthetic appeal, is a magnificent experimental EP, both fragile and strong, clear and dense, light and dark. Yin & Yang. Both parts of the same.
Plumb & Plumber.
I can't find the perfect words to describe this. Pure, almost brute melancholic beauty. Get this now.» - Pedro Leitão |

Reviews:
«This is great work. All sorts of different diverse sounds! Field recordings, live recordings? various noises, strumming guitars and more!!!!.»

«This is one of the best albums i have heard in a while. droning tones and glitchy textures create beautiful hypnotic atmospheres. this is a must listen for everyone into glitchy experimental atmospheric music.»
- David Velez [EARLabs] / June 30, 2005
«Après la parenthèse Con 7 (je me serais mal vu chroniquer cet album tout de même, étant partie prenante du projet), le label Test Tube poursuit ses pérégrinations dans un secteur un poil plus expérimental que précédemment. Bien lui en prend. Un projet espagnol, cette fois, avec Plumb & Plumber. Free Jazz déniaisé, au ralenti, croise le fer avec Ambiant-Looped-Music, pas encore totalement affranchi. Mais, bon, quelle importance? Le résultat est plutôt agréable, même si les guitares ne me convainquent qu'à moitié. Disons le traitement sur les guitares... Le chorus me gêne un peu, comme se libérant d'un autre âge. Enfin, ce sont les arpèges de guitares qui ne me satisfont pas vraiment. Mais, passé ce petit détail d'ordre très personnel, l'ambiance générale du ep de Jesús Valle Pazos est plutôt intriguante et même sûrement intéressante. Toujours est-il qu'une nouvelle fois, Test Tube fouette ses chats comme il se doit, avec force et précision... Du bon boulot, quoi!»
