That The Selva should be playing in the ears of any of us, is nothing new. New is this being, without any doubt, the best record of the trio.
From the first to the last seconds there is not a single moment that leaves us disappointed.
There is no way to resist Ricardo Jacinto's cello who slips into Tiki Prussia in a loop that abstracts us from any distraction. The drums of Nuno Morão enters so sneakily that when we get by it is already entangled in the cello. And of course the bass of Gonçalo Almeida is deep down so present and so natural that it shuffles the senses.
Is an addiction. In such a way that even when we want to stop consuming, the ear does not allow, for some time, that we let Canícula Rosa in favor of other sounds.
They are addictive, subtle, perfect. If there is a three relation that awakens our senses, this is it! But with musicians like this three it was not a surprise.
I could stretch myself into tremendous praise, but in this case listening and writing at the same time obscures my thinking because there are records that don’t need words, just ears. Ears predisposed to accept that there are things that overtake us and transpierce us.
Urdi Verdoso made me travel. Some people think that it's easy to write stories automatically to the sound of a song. But those who think that are completely wrong. For the writing to flow, for the imaginary to escape at an amazing speed, it is necessary that the sound that penetrates the mind have some attributes. Must be fluid, full of details, filled with small surprises and invigorating so that we let the hand slip in the paper in a flood of words, sentences, paragraphs, where sometimes we reach pages of little stories. The sound can make us travel to far away.
This is the record that make me want to write a screenplay to a short film. The environments change, so do the characters, in such an easy and fluid way. What a soundtrack. Maybe a future project.
From the restless child to the schizophrenic neighbor upstairs, there is room for everyone. All fit into the universe of this record. When you realize you are in the middle of the record. You do not really know how or why, but you're already there. How can I make you feel the record if you have not listen it yet? So here it goes. When your schizophrenic neighbor woke you up and you try to seek a balance with oriental details, that is Canícula Rosa. Curious? Yeah... If you listen it you're gonna understand.
Manimal Cerúleo is the one that I chose as one of my tracks of the year in which, I always found something new.
This record is undoubtedly my choice for the next few months. It is a safe record, one of those that if I lose myself in what I want to listen I just go and play that and all my doubts dissipate.
A safe record is just like saying it's perfect! I strongly recommend that you listen it. You will appreciate. Listen it at home, in the car, while having sex, and in the stranger or normal moments of your day!
Go listen!
