Sara Serpa & Andre Matos: Night Birds

Dreamy soundscapes are put together with vocalist Sara Serpa and guitarist Andre Magtos, along with guests Dov Manskii/p-synth, Joao Pereira/dr, Sofia Jernberg-Lourenco/voc and Okkyung Lee/cel. Serpa’s ethereal voice is reminiscent of those Enya albums in the 80s and 90s, haunting around the sustained tones on “From a Distance” and reflective on impressioinisic tunes like Melting Ice”. There is a childlike chorus to “Family and soft folk sounds with guitar  during “Carlos”. When Matos goes electric, things geta  bit rocking on the bluesy “Counting” and the artsy “Underwater” with cellist Lee adding prismatic tones to  “Lost Whale” and “Degrowth”. Edgy ambience.
