Release.Info :
Portuguese guitarist Luis Lopes defies rigid classifications due to his rather
unconventional mode of execution witnessed on this persuasive trio date,
featuring American rising star bassist/composer Adam Lane and rock solid,
Israeli drummer Igal Foni. ItÆs a mesmeric gala, brimming with circular themes,
and fractured movements.
The guitaristÆs patchy voicings ride atop the rhythm sectionÆs bustling
cadences, where the band instills a sense of perpetual motion. Here, Lopes
dissects and interlinks concise patterns into a semi-structured program, in
concert with tangible motifs and the musiciansÆ ardent improvisational
maneuvers. Lopes is a stylist and uses closed-hand tapping techniques while
putting matters into overdrive via his cross boundary exercises. He merges free,
jazz-rock with dynamic, hard-core experimentalism.
On ôCerejeiras,ö the trio conveys temperance with a sinister backdrop,
accentuated by LaneÆs creaky, arco-based notes and LopesÆ diminutive phrasings.
But they kick up a storm during aptly titled, ôThe Siege,ö as Foni offers a
tumultuous undercurrent. Then Lane stretches with his airy and pensive solo on
ôMelodic 8.ö In other regions of sound, they launch booming unison ostinatos and
venture towards off-kilter metrics, occasionally abetted by LopesÆ haze of
progressive-metal like, crunch chords and odd tunings.
The trio casts an abundance of tantalizing propositions throughout this
veritably, exciting album, and shun the paths frequently travelled. Each piece
stands on its own, and it this point in time, I sincerely hope the unit records
again. Marked by diametrically opposed angles and odd-metered song-forms, the
artists maintain a keenly identifiable, group-centric methodology.
