The Royal Landscaping Society started in Seville (Spain) in 2012 as a solo project, then expanded into a band and eventually shrunk again into a duo with Cris Romero (vocals, guitar, synths and machines) and David Vidal (bass, bass synth). Previous members include María Barrero (keyboards), Fran Torres (guitar) and Juan Luis Castro (guitar). With an obvious love for the breezier side of indiepop, the RLS’s “shimmery romantic pop” mixes crystalline guitars and primitive electronics. The band is part of the Matinée Recordings roster since 2017, so far appearing on the label’s Matinée Idols and The Official Matinée World Cup EP . The story also includes an eponymous debut mini-album (The Royal Landscaping Society) on Beko Disques in 2014 and a series of compilation appearances on Little Treasure, La Souterraine, Cloudberry, Beko, February, Sunday and TBTCI as well as appearances at the Birmingham Popfest, Indietracks, and the Verbena Pop tour in Germany. Following the two advance digital singles Goodbye and Clean, in 2020 Matinée will release Means of Production, a compilation of their previous work, to be followed by the 7” ep Fractals. Another 7” is expected on Cloudberry records next year.
