 Summary:
One of the best independent releases for a while Reviewed
By: Lams Eiras
They go from free jazz to dub, passing for minimalism, MPB and rock - the CD of this brazilian band has as resulted a creative and innovative sound.
From the improbable melodies to the funny names of songs ("Kampala", "Bulawayo" and "Chepa", to only cite some examples), the originality takes account of the eleven tracks of the predominantly instrumental record.
By the way, "Cozido" also stimulates the imagination of who hears it. Without concern in incasing a letter in a music (or vice versa), the work of the Hurtmold points an interesting point in instrumental musics. According to drummer Mauricio Takara "an instrumental music is opened to diverse interpretations, but good writers knows to make this with letters". It is what the Hurtmold makes at the rare moments where they risks to add letters to its wonderful instrumental.
It is with this proposal to make a sound nothing air-tight that the "Cozido" was of the most praised CD's of the last year. And, as the Hurtmold comes growing to each work (this is as the CD. The first one is "Etcetera", also for the Submarine Records), the expectation for the third album is that he is still more inventive that the "Cozido" one, easy task for this guys.
