It is marvelous! original, lyrical and honest, the compositions are beautiful and clear harmonically and melodically. There is not a single superfluous note.
Furthermore, the orchestration of the themes is very peculiar, very rich, with dense textures in the low register in some moments in which the luminosity of mark's high register and voice stands out in a very effective way.
Rhythmically I love the fluidity and originallity of the pieces. Totally free of specific stylistic references.
I think that apart from the instrumentation, the choice of each participating musician contributes a lot to give the recording avery marked mysterious and poetic identity. It givbes the feeling that the music is written with each of the performers in mind.
This music sounds 100% Iago Fernández. No one else could have written something like this and shaped the sound of the band from the drums like he does. I know I'm going to listen this album many more times because there is so much to savor in each track.
