Leopoldo et Lacerda gives you tranquility through the mesmerizing and complex Eremita, released on May 10. It simply dips you into a labyrinthine of hypnotic and intricate rhythms leaving you unguarded in-between genres.
The opening track, โEremita,โ throws you headfirst into this world. A bluesy melody battles with jittery percussion, creating a strange yet captivating tension. The haze hangs over the air as the music shakes it up.
โTransparenteโ is a masterclass in futurism and techno. Yet the track blurs the lines between the genres with its music. Frivolous, tapping sounds set off, and the beats flow in sync with the rhythm. Alongside the driving rhythm, a whole range of swatting, sweeping, and swirling techno sounds buzz around with a cold, futuristic aura.
โPressaโ offers a welcome change of pace. The track starts slow and builds to a satisfying drop. With heavy beats hitting under the sparkly, shimmering, and punchy rhythm, this song comes off as more catchy and vibrant. The hypnotic structure makes it the most instantly accessible song on the EP, yet its dynamism keeps us attended.
The final track, โVislumbre,โ throws a curveball. Lush, clean guitar chords give way to a floating melody and heavy drums. Organic and electronic elements interweave, creating a layered but heavy and momentous atmosphere.
If you love electronic, jazz, and world music, look no further than Leopoldo et Lacerda. With this, you will also get a hint of the Portuguese urban vibe. Listen to the complex, creative, abstract musicality of Eremita and find relaxation uncannily.
