The sense of the seduction of Bahamas


The skeptics snobs never expected anything of Brushfire Records, the label founded by singer-songwriter Jack Johnson, but eventually reality has finished punching in the face to these petty hipsters. The proof that Jack does not have a fool can find in signing Afie Jurvanen, aka Bahamas, a Canadian musician who has rubbed shoulders over the years with artists like Feist, Jason Collett (Broken Social Scene) and Zeus and now launches a powerful second album entitled "Barchords" happens to that "Pink Strat" ​​which was released three years ago.
Very good vibes are flowing from this LP after making a few calm tracks. And is that "Barchords" is not one of those albums linear in maintaining a rhythm line from start to finish, no. This album is characterized by having a range of sound sensations ranging from those offered in more robust discs John Mayer ("Continuum"), up slightly afropop like Vampire Weekend. Afie plays both approaching the tropical feeling as the R & B of the '60s, or the more refined and classic folk reminiscent least from the distance of Paul Simon of Simon & Garfunkel. But it is in the blues of yesteryear where we find the greatest part of the disk. A bewitching blues, which show off the Bahamas gets done with his electric grapples. 'Lost In Light' is a true reflection of the comments. PA Blessed, blessed, blessed choirs presence of a very much reminiscent Afie the imposing figure of John Paul White (The Civil Wars).
This man petó this at SXSW 2012, and it appears that his career will go further in the coming months. Canada is beginning to yield to his feet, and there are more and more people who know their whereabouts. Lest you be the last to take cognizance of what is capable Afie Jurvanen, at the end of this post (just below the clip of "Caught Me Thinking ') we leave you with the streaming via Spotify this delicious" Barchords "which went on spotlight will already half a year.
Bahamas, Genio. We will have to follow very closely in the coming months. Here are crumb crumb lot.
