Sereias

Sereias

‘A vital and urgent impulse’ wrote Portuguese rock icon Adolfo Luxúria Canibal of Sereias, one of Porto-based label Lovers & Lollipops’ most recent acquisitions. Upon hearing their 2022 self-titled album, it becomes evident their bet bore fruit. The António Pedro Ribeiro septet makes guitar-driven music reminiscent of krautrock and post-rock and other styles capable of hosting the band’s tribal, yet brainy, impulses. All of this is directed by Ribeiro’s voice, over which he has the control of a stage actor; sometimes he murmurs, sometimes he screams, but, at all times, he commands the song entirely, and infuses his eccentric lyrics with meaning.
