Moments Worth Listening For
The chilling, skeletal simplicity of the vocals on track 8 where he confronts mortality without a hint of fear.
The way the title track builds a bridge between traditional cordel storytelling and the frantic pace of the internet age.
The sudden, lush harmonic shift during the chorus of 'Os pais' that feels like a warm embrace.
