About Mishima
Mishima formed in Barcelona in 1999 and started out singing in English on its early albums. With Set tota la vida the band switched to Catalan and has stayed there since, on records including Ordre i aventura and L'amor feliç. That change brought Mishima a much larger audience in Catalonia.
David Carabén writes the songs, and his lyrics are wordy, wry and introspective, drawing on everyday life, love and memory. The arrangements stay restrained: clean guitars, keyboards and unhurried tempos that leave room for the words.
