Stephen O'Malley and Mika Vainio's compositions are haunted by Alan Dubin's vocals in a brilliant record. And fortunately this does not feel, at all, like a metal musician colaborating with an eletronic producer/musician. Like metal music with an electronic feel. Or electronic music with some roughness. Or any of those obvious results. It is a true original work of creative genius. Two minds, colaborating, with creative freedom.

Filho da Mãe brings to his acoustic playing an emotional strength that make him interpret his compositions in a very physical way, that allows roughness and tension to alternate with smoothness. There is a sense of texture, of a tactile landscape, of the instrument that is played very near you, very real. The songs have repetitive patterns, beautifully conceived and executed and changing pace, which Filho da Mãe can go through with his technique in a transe like way.

Great guitars to let yourself be immersed into. Electricity pulsing.
