From Spain, The Fruhstucks flow with their experimental sound around the globe. So, roll an early one, pour some cereal and begin a beautiful day with a huge dose of Sutja and Miguel’s band.

Upon hearing The Fruitloops you’d wish you were on one of those drowsy train journeys where you’re mechanically counting the stations or tossing around a tennis ball in an apartment room on a cloudy day. Don’t misunderstand me, their tracks are pretty trippy, but they sound as if they were steaming from the concrete, sweating their way out of the building’s walls or swirling around in light traffic.

But after that ever wrong heartbroken feeling that psychedellia is over and that Animal Collective is sooo 00’ passes by, and you refuse to fall in love again with all the fleeting images and the psychotropic drugs that left you naked in the park that one night and were followed by a registration in your district as a sexual offender to the shame of your family and the denial of your friends (true story), you’ll finally come to terms with your past and be able to see that The Footloose is a solid band from Spain with lot to offer. Miguel’s guitars and Sutja’s synth and drums blend into lazy waves upon which the latter musician’s voice surfs somewhere among a soft huskiness and a grunge growl.

With all seriousness now, their real name is The Fruhstucks and they released a neat EP called Parade, I don’t care. They’re filled with love (check the answers bellow) and we love them in return. But, guys, couldn’t you just pick an easier name?

How did The Fruhstucks start and where does the name come from?

Sutja: It all came from many years of music, love, events, excesses and flowers. We aren't famous musicians and we are not in the mood for success. We just collect artists, collaborators and visionaries: all in one same body. We get together in order to play and create, and the result is much more than a band. We call it a movement. “Frühstück” is the German word for “breakfast”. I just created my stuff while having breakfast and I decided to call this like that.

Miguel: I joined The Fruhstucks when the hard work was still to be made. But I was so heartbroken at that time,  that I couldn't help falling in love with him.

What other names you had in mind before choosing it?

Actually any possible name: “dinner”, “lunch”, “brunch”... :)

What images inspire your music?

Anything we can focus completely out of logic, or with logic enough to mash your brains. Sweet, romantic, nice... Maybe our inspiration is the relationship between us and the artists we work with.

How do you live the jump from Spain to the rest of Europe?

We are actually waiting for it and living it at the same time. Spain is a bit wounded about music in general and about the kind of music we play in particular. Anyway, we have enough first-aid plasters to mend its wounds and we don’t lose our time. We really enjoy it because the people listening to our songs are quite open-minded so we are definitely happy.

What animal would you adopt (if you could adopt any) and why?

Sutja: A koala. I cannot imagine a more huggable animal than a koala.

Miguel: I always wanted a dingo, but I need more noisy animals by my side. Anyway, our kitten and our dog play the current role of adorable pets.

How do you like to live the nights? Full speed ahead or kicking off your shoes and relaxing?

We like living nights with a broken TV remote controller. Our shows are a complete mess and nobody knows when we'll play again. Nor do we.

Tell us a little bit about the album.

Sutja: Parade, I Don't Care is just as meeting that person, object or hobby that makes you feel pleasure and sweet emotions. Just like that, but with lots of flowers and love around. Sweet and depressive at the same time. Like Chinese Food: sweet'n'sour. And there's this vinyl coming next winter and it will make your blood explode in your heart, you know, when you feel those intense and strong emotions. It's gonna be really intense and strong. We'll get back to the most abstract electronic ever.

Miguel: We are lovers sending obscene letters to each other and the result is the sum of those emotions.

Which of your music equipments do you love the most?

Sutja: I have enough with my guitar player and with our love which is never out of tune.

Miguel: With such a love, I really don't give a fuck about music equipments.

Can you describe a typical day in your lives?

Sutja: I think that a day of mine from monday to friday is as common as possible: waking up, having a coffee, then a shower and then some office tasks like mails, contacts, etc. In the afternoon, I spend more time with our music and with the record company supporting us nowadays, “Race Car” from Cincinnati.

Miguel: I face the obscure side of having a non-creative job while reading financial papers and thinking of hardcore reverb and other side effects. I'd say I'm quite a busy guy hanging around messy bands and skateboarding.

Tell us about your influences and the people you're listening to these days. What sounds hit your pleasure zones?

We both fill our ears with tons of music every day. We don't care about huge productions and gigantic stars. We are eternal teenagers with new bands that play because they want to and we love artists who don't feel the need to show off. So we are amazed nowadays with artists like Ariel Pink, Las Robertas, The Wavves, Washed Out, The Boom Bang and stuff like that.

So, how are you planning to take over the world over the next year?

We are now too busy falling in love with each other and waiting to get together again, as we live separated by the ocean and can only get in touch with ourselves when we play live. We might be looking for a common place to live in the future, we don't know right now. We ain’t gonna invent anything new. We are just happy hunting the hearts in our way. The world was already taken over by Leonard Cohen. We are sorry for Manhattan and Berlin. First we take each other, then we take your heart.
