You’ve first met PAUS through the mesmerizing ‘É Uma Água’ EP we released last year, but now the unclassifiable yet disarming style of this Lisbon quartet is back with a full fledged album, released last monday. The name? ’PAUS’, obviously.
Makoto Yagyu, Joaquim Albergaria, João Pereira and Hélio Morais are faithfully sticking with their captivating formula on the new record: “Siamese drums, a bass bigger than your mom and keys that make you feel things”. Rarely has such a vague description of a band’s sound been so accurate. For the duration of eight new tracks, the guys take us on an intense journey of rhythm and color that further cement PAUS‘ reputation as a force of nature in Lisbon’s musical landscape. But we’ll let them explain everything:
“We’ve made a record. We’ve made it because we take great pleasure from playing together and having music flow through us and talk to us. We’ve made a record because we believe music is the true universal language. We’ve made a record because we wanted to have more songs to play live, to share with everyone who joins us so we can all be together.”
In this spirit of togetherness the guys have planned two concerts where they’ll share their new songs with us. The first one is tomorrow, October 26th, at the Lux club in Lisbon, and the second one will be on November 3rd, at the Hardclub in Oporto. In the meantime, be sure to check out their new video for the single “Deixa-me Ser”.
