SOROASTRA

New project that puts together Afonso Simões and Borja Caro releases its debut album on Fungo

"Olimpíadas de Pensamentos Acelerados" results from the meeting of the two musicians in the studio during the first pandemic lockdown, in 2020. The material recorded during these meetings resulted in seven themes, without any type of post-production, with collaborations by Joana da Conceição and Violeta Azevedo on three of them.

To enter on “these olympics” is to plunge headlong into an obscure journey with winding paths, as if we were constantly drawn to discover that we have returned to the starting point, in a long circular movement that takes us without resisting, without ever looking back. Based on a percussive base that crosses the album from one end to the other, wrapped in synthesizers and various effects, Olímpiadas de Pensamentos Acelerados is tribalism, voodoo, trance, hypnosis. An eternal return from which we don't want to leave.
