Joyful Hesitation with Syrup, Go On - An Interview


Umas das melhores coisas em se tratando de música, é acompanhar o nascimento e o crescimento de uma banda, simplesmente sentir aquele frescor que um dia também já foi parte integrante de todos nós.

É basicamente esse sentimento que guia o TBTCI, e lá vamos nós novamente apresentar mais um daquelas novas bandas que deveriam e poderiam, porque não, ter um reconhecimento imediato.

Novamente é da Austrália, que mais uma bela promessa aterriza nestas páginas, o quinteto, Syrup, Go On.

Depois de soltar algumas demos e o single "Adore", o Syrup, Go On, iniciou o ano com seu primeiro EP, "Joyful Hesitation", que infelizmente dentre tantos lançamentos que já ocorreram neste ano, me parece que ficou precocemente esquecido, como muitos belos trabalhos, sinal dos tempos cruéis em que vivemos.

Mas, o TBTCI presta a devida e merecida atenção ao guitar sound com nuances gazers, sonhadoras e indies, melodias em primeiro plano, barulho dosado sem agressividades ou experimentações extremas, apenas aquele doce e suave assovio para fazer o tímpano tremer e a cabeça levitar.

Experimente o Syrup, Go On, contra indicações não haverão de aparecer.
