Sr. Acaso – Sr. Acaso (2014)




/Alternative pop, Indie rock/

Comment: at first glance I perceived I was listening to an album sung in Portuguese. Actually it was not in this way, however, being quite close to the truth anyway. More concretely, Sr. Acaso is a combo from Galicia, an autonomous region nearby the border of Portugal in northwestern Spain and a linguistically quite affine language indeed. Musically it is a whole of a handful of tracks saturated with touching refrains, scintillating guitar noises and entrancing piano chords. Effervescent moments are varied with slower ones thus creating organic and dynamic feel laid over the top of ditties. It is beautiful music and definitely a part of the heritage of Galician culture.
