At the same time he began to compose his own songs, influenced by artists like Sonic Youth, Sebadoh, or Leonard Cohen Harry Nilsson, with Lo-Fi and mixing some ideas of folk and noise. Roldán searched his ma experimental material with a broken cassette recorder, which was useful for "overdubs" on the same tape.
The first official EP Roldán, called 'Roland' was published in AA Records in a limited edition. Rafael Martinez del Pozo (AA Tigre, La Jr) recorded and mixed the EP. In 2009, Rold & a acute, n released their first full LP called The Song.
