Cada vez Cadáver (roughly: More and More Like a Corpse) is the seventh studio album by Spanish rock band Fito & Fitipaldis, released on 24 September 2021 by Warner Music Spain and produced by band member Carlos Raya.[1][2]
It is the band's first album that does not contain a cover of a Spanish artist's song, but instead includes a cover of "Transporte" by Uruguayan musician Jorge Drexler.
Background
After a long period of inactivity, lead singer Fito Cabrales decided to return to the studio to record new material. The album was produced by bandmate Carlos Raya, who has worked with the band on previous productions. It was recorded in various studios in Spain and featured collaborations with musicians from the rock and blues scene.[3][4]
The album continues in the characteristic style of Fito & Fitipaldis, mixing rock and roll, blues, and pop. Fito Cabrales' lyrics address introspective themes, often reflecting on the passage of time, life, and death, which is reflected in the album's title.[5]
Tour
To promote the album, Fito & Fitipaldis embarked on a tour of Spain, which began in March 2022. The tour was a success, with several sold-out dates and a warm reception from the public.[6]
