SOB OS OLHOS DE EVA

The music itself, the approach is disconcerting, the developments immediately bring to mind an almost banal electric folk jazz, then the developments of the 6 titles lead onto the highways that certain "prog" dinosaurs traced a long time ago. The big criticism of this EP is precisely its too short duration, the titles taking too long to make us catch up with the ramp of the said highway! The little extra of this EP is that it features unique, deceptive atmospheres, drawing here and there from sounds of country, hard rock, art-rock, psychedelic, BOF with purely jazzy and Brazilians. In fact, the accumulation of genres destabilizes the musical ear as you listen and almost forces you to activate the replay button!

For the tracks, we're dealing with space rock at the start, then typically Ry Coodérien slide guitar, all bathed in a country atmosphere while still retaining a jazz sound. The next piece sets the tone with a typically South American acoustic guitar, it's fruity, calm, then the flute comes in to bring us to a very catchy tune. The 3rd "Kopernik" starts slowly despite its short duration, juggling between a ballad, a Saturday night folk ball tune then the guitar coming into play brings a rapid but effective crescendo to an energetic swirling riff. Already the 2nd part of the album with a soft flute intro, followed by a rhythm guitar then the flute again and a calm, almost ethereal piano arpeggio then again this nervous guitar, drawing from the rock of CAMEL its inspirations; here, the composition revolves around the death of one of the most courageous men there was for having stood up to the CHURCH at a time when this was still impossible. The penultimate track "A Rua Contra Os Reis" starts directly with the flute as if there had been no break between the tracks with a sound of sirens and a nonchalant guitar à la "Bonnie and Clyde" comes hold the melody for the shortest duration of the album (2'50''); we are between the sixties and the Original Film Soundtrack. Already the last track with "Dharma em Chamas" may be the most prog track with a melting pot of sounds initially coming from hard rock with a Hawkindian guitar and it calms down with an Inca tempo on the flute. We think it's going to end this way until the last two minutes where SF, spatial sound effects like those we could find on 80's metal groups (the intro, not the titles afterwards!) remind us that there is a lot of prog blood in this EP, as short as it is!
