PRESENTATION
Hello!
You are on the page of the crowdfunding campaign for Àcid Úric’s new album.
A full-length album that will be called Atac d'Acord (Chord Attack), the cover of which you have at the top of the page.
Atac d'Acord is undoubtedly Àcid Úric’s best work to date. You can ask the more than 30 collaborators who participated in the album.
The album needs to see the light of day to definitively certify and consolidate Àcid Úric’s return after almost 10 years of absence.
We ask for your support to make it a reality. You won’t regret it.
Thank you!
ÀCID ÚRIC: WHAT, WHO, HOW?
Àcid Úric is the personal project of Oriol Cardona, singer and guitarist, currently also in the bands Sweet Dreams (intimate covers) and The Jumping Jacks (a power trio tribute to the Rolling Stones). He has previously participated in bands such as Smoking Stones, Los Eléctricos, Aramateix, Gradus Ad Parnassum, Mama Set, Caca Fugitiva, Teen Spirit, Riot Act, Jam de Perles...
The project was born in 2006 and was active intermittently until 2015. In 2021 Oriol returned to the studio and began recording the bases of a group of songs to be elaborated later that would be the embryo of Atac d'Acord.
With all the songs recorded and mixed, on September 1, 2024, the CD-single Àcid Úric (2024, self-published) was released...
...which marked the start of the promotional campaign for the return of Àcid Úric and the imminent new full-length.
But 2024 culminated with the request to open the Cartellà Rock Festival on November 23 of the same year. This involved the re-formation of the band in record time and gave the 3rd dimension to the project, thus closing the circle of the return of Àcid Úric.
● Oriol Cardona - Vocals, Guitar
● Eli Aguilera - Backing Vocals (Sweet Dreams, Teen Spirit, Doorway)
● Jordi López - Lap Steel (Slim Bay Seals, Batak, Setembre)
● Jordi Crosas - Bass (Six In Town, No T'hi Matis)
● Ophelia Alibrando - Drums (Nebulossa, Supernoba)
...and here you can see us in action 👇
ATAC D'ACORD: THE RECORD
Atac d'Acord will have 10 songs, five in Catalan and five in English:
Now Or Never
Àcid Úric
Sky To Heaven
M.H.G.
Going On
Foc Humà
El Nostre Joc
La Sang
One Way
El Meu Temps
A compilation of songs composed as far back as the 90s and others that arrived during the final stretch of the recording process, the album condenses some of Oriol Cardona's musical influences, from blues and Rolling Stones rock to funk, punk and the sensitivity of names like Sting, Phil Collins or Frederic Wort himself (collaborator on the album) an unavoidable musical mentor, who will ensure that you will not find two songs alike in the entire record.
The album was recorded at Plata Studios in Torelló (Osona) by Aaron Plata, in stages between 2014 and 2024 except for the song Àcid Úric which was also recorded at Music Lan Studios in Figueres (Alt Empordà).
The participation of musicians has been numerous with names such as Frederic Wort, Ignasi de Muntanyola, Elisabeth Aguilera, Jordi Casals, Xavier Bort, Rikar Garagarza, Toni Pérez, Ophelia Alibrando, Toni Tió, Jordi Turon, Xevi Mendo and a long etcetera!
Atac d'Acord aims to be an injection of intensity, passion, rock, right in the middle of your heart, to make it beat like never before!
WHAT WILL WE DO WITH YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS?
The economic target of the crowdfunding must help complete the final phase necessary to make the edition of Atac d'Acord a reality:
Mastering of the songs (the last step of the entire audio process that implies guaranteeing the quality of the same in any reproduction and listening environment)
Physical manufacture of the CDs and its corresponding cover
REWARDS: WHAT WILL YOU RECEIVE IN EXCHANGE?
This is Rock. This is Music. And music is basically intangible. And that's how most of the rewards you'll find are.
The amount to be reached does not allow, initially and out of prudence, to add physical details beyond the CD itself and a surprise extra reward that will appear when you choose yours (as an add-on).
But you can get even more music than the new work Atac d'Acord itself: live shows, demos, listening to the album in situ in the studio where it was recorded and... concerts!
Yes, you can also have Oriol at home playing an acoustic concert just for your ears.
If we exceed the economic goal of the campaign we will automatically consider adding some extra gifts of a more material nature... hopefully!
And even more music: Pack Atac d'Acord has a special EXTRA edition available ONLY during the first 72 hours of campaign: it will include the advanced digital download of one of the songs from the new album! (the song M.H.G. was initially planned to appear as a single and was already mastered, but its release was stopped for it to be included in the album).
REWARDS: WHEN?
wer estimate to be able to deliver your rewards to you about 2 months after reaching the campaign goal.
We'll to have to wait for the necessary time to master the songs and then proceed to manufacture the CD, which can be about 20 days and then ship it.
The rewards on specific dates (listening in the studio, concerts) will be subject to the agreement between all parties involved.
Digital downloads:
● The download of Atac d'Acord will be possible once the album has been mastered
● The rest of the digital downloads will be possible when the goal is reached

ORIOL CARDONA, MUSICIAN, GUITARIST, SINGER
In 2006 he decided to name his music (very acidic and very uric): Àcid Úric.
ROCK is my language (in capital letters as Jordi Tardà used to say) and my musical travel companions have been the Stones, Maiden, Pearl Jam, Neil Young, Sting...
Rock is 4 letters, and often 4 chords, but between them there is a special magic... And I live with and thanks to this magic. And it is right and necessary to re-transmit it. Because it has a language that expresses something that cannot be said in any other way.
Because this... is... ROCK.
