Musical career
After initial early tracks under the name d.a.r.y.l, Riverola began releasing music as John Talabot in 2009 (a name taken from the school he attended in Barcelona). He received particular attention for the 2010 release "Sunshine". This was followed by his debut EP, Families in 2011 on the Young Turks label.
He released his debut album ƒIN in January 2012 on Permanent Vacation. The record was generally well received with critics obtaining a 5 star review fromThe Guardian.
Despite not releasing a solo album since ƒIN, Talabot has released music consistently including remixes of artists from The XX to Sfire to Shit Robot.
