The songs show a band flexing dense muscle and showing incredible reserves of power and melodic delicacy. The sound is impressive FM rock, with the added attraction of mind-bending chord shifts, effortless command of mood and Gustavo’s been-to-the-mountaintop revivalist’s voice. Never far from the surface are the band’s national roots, with strong undercurrents recalling the caress of bossa-nova and the urbane sensuality of Brazilian jazz. Half the new bands going promise a return to “real” rock- Udora is already there and knocking new classics out of the park. Listen.
