Sexteto Bernardo Moreira: Entre Paredes

Read "Sexteto Bernardo Moreira: Entre Paredes" reviewed by Pedro Keul

The Burnt Pines

Active since:

When The Burnt Pines released their eponymous debut album in 2021, among the accolades the LP earned was spending 11 weeks on the AMA/CDX Top 50 Americana Album Chart, and also a Top 10 spot on the Roots Music Report’s Best Albums of 2021 year-end list. Celebrated as “sublime… an album flush with a delicate folk rock glow, a quiet caress one might find while nestled by a fire on a chilly winter’s night” (Goldmine), the critical and commercial success of their debut has paved the way for Don’t Look Down, the brilliant second album from the polycultural, globe-spanning outfit. While the band’s unique circumstances – the trio’s core lineup consists of members based in both the United States and Portugal – were already challenging enough, a global pandemic put their debut album’s release on hold while the group figured out how best to proceed. But, as they have so skillfully and beautifully demonstrated in both logistics and craft, the challenges, both professional and deeply personal, were met with perseverance and a stunning burst of musical creativity, paving the way for Don’t Look Down. Charting intensely intimate and yet universal subjects, the new album explores such themes as divorce, escapism and redemption, weaving compelling tales alluding to ghosts and aliens, and all the while retaining a sense of hope and peace in trying times through its gentle, mesmerizing melodies and instrumental artistry. Don’t Look Down is a rare, remarkable achievement: a sophomore album that outshines its glistening predecessor.
