Alles Club - 1999 (2016) EN


Some bands are created on the spur of the moment and after a while they have already two albums and several awards, other just *can't* get started. This is the story of Alles Club, the band that came through after Luiz Alberto Moura listened to a demo recorded by himself with some friends... 17 years before. "1999" is a tribute to this moment and, let's hope so, the beginning of the Brazilian (though recording also in Portugal and Switzerland) shoegazers' career.

The tribute is noticeable in the very first moments of the album with a piece of an old very low quality recording in the beginning of the first track, which has to be a reminder of the lost demo. Even though the album has only three songs, every one of them offers something special. "Eclipse" is a delicate and catchy melody with vocal full of reverbs, "Só Hoje" warms up slowly from a romantic ballad through full of backing vocals middle up to a real shoegaze ocean of sound. "Brilhar" is based on deep sounds of drums and some trumpets in the background. It's a pity it is also the end of the EP.

The band's motto is "sad music and loud guitars" which, together with their musical sensibility makes me wait for more material by the Brazilians.

"1999" is available for free.
