Federico Aubele has officially announced his seventh studio album Time Drips On My Bed which is set to be released to audiences on Oct. 13. Alongside the exciting announcement, the Brooklyn-based Argentine singer/songwriter has decided to give fans a sneak peek of the project by simultaneously dropping the first track on the album, “What We Lost” with an official music video.
To say Aubele is an experienced artist and individual would be an understatement as the singer, born and raised in Buenos Aires, has immersed himself in cultural hubs all over the world by residing in Berlin, Barcelona, and now Brooklyn. With each move and experience, the artist has taken musical and life lessons with him which have been instilled in his almost two-decade long career, fusing the sounds of each city and various genres including electronica, acoustic guitar, flamenco, and so much more.
Aubele’s upcoming album, coming out a little over a year after his sixth The Holographic Moon, will see the singer diving deeper into his past. After suffering the loss of his father in 2021, Aubele found himself reflecting on his home city of Buenos Aires and how it shaped who he is today. By tapping into his first album, Gran Hotel Buenos Aires, utilizing 2000s drum beats, melodica, Moog synth, and his unique baritone vocals, the album grew legs and began to run. It was this careful submersion into his grief and early life that ultimately served as the catalyst for his newfound creativity, allowing him to accept his past and build the foundation of his latest project.
“We’re constantly evolving and changing, which means analyzing, understanding and accepting aspects of our past,” Aubele shares. “If we don’t do that, what we need to process starts spilling into our present, preventing us from fully reaping its benefits and appreciating where we are.”
Perfectly expressing this theme, the first track on the album, “What We Lost” is available everywhere now along with an official music video directed by Federico Aubele himself. The song itself, backed by a looping drum beat, explores the love gained and lost in relationships of all kinds, and how when they live on in memories, they can enable one’s growth or hinder it. Although Aubele’s shaky and breathy vocals may be an acquired/specific taste for listeners, his message stays strong. The artist explains that the song is meant to express the shared phenomena of how humans are “inclined to recreate, consciously or subconsciously, those moments that moved, transformed and defined us.”
The video is dreamy in its own right as it is shot throughout Brooklyn and includes countless images meant to enhance the meaning of the song including the trees of Prospect Park and visuals that resemble a flashback reel.
