Hola Lis

Hola Lis is the project of songwriter Elisa Bernal, who, with Reformas, her second record, combines synth pop, new wave, post punk and krautrock in what she describes as industrial pop. The band presents the work at Sala Taro in Barcelona.

Hola Lis was born from the songwriter Elisa Bernal, who wrote mostly on acoustic guitar before exploring electronic music. After the cassette demo Primavera dosmilveinte (2020) and the debut Foravila (2023), the project has continued working in a studio in Mallorca for more than two years.

Reformas (2026) is their second album and brings together synth pop, new wave, post punk and krautrock. The songs were completed in a rehearsal room in Bellvitge, where the band kept adding layers of synthesisers, keyboards, percussion, electric guitars and drums. The tracks deal with intrusive thoughts, politics, the pressure of normative beauty, humanitarian emergencies and abortion.

Their songs have been played on Radio 3 and Catalunya Ràdio, and media outlets such as Enderrock, Mindies and La Vanguardia have reviewed them. Their venues include El Sol in Madrid, Sidecar in Barcelona, the Fundació Miró in Mallorca and Les Vinzelles in France.
