There's a saying in Iceland that seldom is a good poem too often recited. Thus I'd like to draw the reader's attention once more to the excellent Brazilian band Radio de Outono. Around this time last year the band was looking for help recording a full length album, and that was the last I've heard from them. Today, there is no album in sight, no updates on their website and the other day when I looked at their Myspace page they hadn't logged in since December.
Perhaps they've called it quits, which would be a crying shame. The song below, "Além da Razão", is my opinion one of the most perfectly formed popsongs ever to reach my ears. Yet last year they seemed to be virtually unknown in their home country. I anyone happens to know what's become of the band do get in touch. Someone reading this must surely have a label, how about releasing them?
Anyhoo. here's an MP3 and a video for "Além da Razão" which translates as "Edge of Reason". It's a whopping great little tune, epic keyboard solo, a cliffhanger stop near the end, distortion on the bass, occasional brass and oddly enough not a trace of guitar.
Radio de Outono - Além da Razão (Highly recommended!)
I still have a copy of their CD if anyone wants one.
Me! Me! :) Mail maggih@mmedia.is and we'll work out the details.
