NEW RELEASE
THE GREAT PUZZLE
Lucas Etcheverria brings a handful of songs which translate some of his thoughts on certain human feelings and common social behaviours. Most of the songs were inspired by attributes such as pride, ego, fear, joy, admiration and inner peace.
The band brings this concept to life with a mix of sensibility, dialogue and impactful energy. The group explores different scenarios in an overall dark-nostalgic mood.
The listener can expect a spectrum that goes since contemporary souding songs like "Asciano" and "Deconstruct", to brazilian-inspired rhythms like in "Pontestrela" and "Nuvem", until intense rock-like moments like in "Resilience". In addition to that, the album brings the nostalgic short ballad "Daily Reminder" and an up-tempo song with influences from traditional jazz, "The Value of Innocence".
