about

After a long pandemic, the Indie leading label from China Handshake Records has reloaded and re-launched, and we still insist the spirit and taste focusing on the fantastic upcoming artists as we ever done in our history.

We are thrilled and happy to announce signing a new artist from Spain, A. Marti (aka: Andrés G. Martí), who is a singer & song writer and an awarded architect both in his motherland Spain and Norway. Since 2017, A.Marti began to write his own music as an author and musician, and till now he released 7 songs, which got some very positive feedbacks from the fans and local medias.

In 2019, the famous Finnish musician and Nordic Music Prize shortlisted Jaakko Eino Kalevi attracted by A.Marti’s music and talents, approaching a collaboration to him, they worked together and released an amazing single called Lumière Du Jour (English means Daylight).

Handshake Records will release his new single The Man Of Carton as A.Marti’s label debut release.

He just finished a new album, the lead single The Man of Carton will be released soon from Handshake Records, and the video of the track will be released after the song releasing. It could be the a kind of weird but beautiful shooting, A.Marti is telling a beautiful story through a geisha’s eyes, it likes a ghost’s storyteller.

As his previously released, A.Marti is fond of writing the soft melody with his whispered voice, the song sounds like a mystery lullaby surrounding your heads.

lyrics

The man of carton stares at us from his lonely tower
he wants to know what he can get out of us
The man of carton senses that he is powerful
he has never switched the light off when he goes to bed
This man
when he gives
he is investing
And even though
he smokes
he has never touched the flame
And Time
it goes
and he knows it´s getting harder that he is getting filled in orange
This man
this man
is the man of carton.
The man of carton is repaired with layers and layers,
the skin so thick that he can´t even feel his pulse
The man of carton quantifies us terribly,
he has learned that undefined is agreement now
This man
kissed once
and got wounded
No escape
his role
it is everlasting
And Time
it goes
and he is trapped in a maze of layers that are closer to his body
This man
this man
is the man of carton
This man
when he gives
he is investing
And even though
he smokes
he has never touched the flame.
And the time
it goes
and he knows it´s getting harder
that he is getting filled in orange
This man
this man
is the man of carton
