Rodrigo Amado: Wire Quartet
By Track review of "Abandon Yourself"The first track "Abandon Yourself," is a 28-minute epic, where the band gradually builds momentum with turbulent dialogues and thrusting pulses. Amado's rough-hewn tone, assertive theme-building lines and fluctuating intensity, parallels the group's democratic interplay, as each musician plays a distinct role. With moments of quietude and oscillating rhythmic contrasts, they often soar to an apex and reformulate the attack via asynchronous call and response dialogues. They recycle their engines on numerous occasions on this frantic journey that casts emotive sentiment along with a festive free-form approach, tinted with melodic flurries and blazing jaunts into the ozone. Amado and associates render a prismatic storyline, framed with an industrious, action-packed onslaught that seizes your attention from start to finish.
