Stay Away And Play!
GLM, 2021
8/10
Andreas Hinterseher is a member of Quadro Nuevo, who have enjoyed an exceptional career since the mid ‘90s, which includes having released over a dozen albums and having played 1000+ concerts. However, that touring ended in 2020 when the world stopped.
Not one to be stifled creatively, Hinterseher went right to work on this solo album, where he puts his multi-instrumental skills to good use, and welcomes help from Mateo Stoneman, Enrique Lazaga, Tanja Conrad and Chrisa Lazariotou, among others.
“Noi Due e ll Gallo Caruso” starts the listen with a very soulful delivery where the warm accordion flows alongside the fluid brass, and “Bajo Las Palmas” follows with expressive vocals amid the gentle drumming and strategic bass in the very intimate landscape.
“El Ultimo Tango en Cuarentena” arrives near to the middle and displays acrobatic keys alongside tense strings as a distinct cinematic quality unfolds, while “La Nostalgia per il Mare” finds itself in a very pretty setting as mature piano, brushed percussion and soothing accordion complement the agile trumpet. “Suenos De Buenos Aires” might be the best track present, and it glides with a cautiousness that brings a timeless classical spirit to the occasion.
Inching towards the end, “Oblivion” offers a stirring and poetic 4 minutes that benefits from elegant singing and lush, stirring song craft, and “I’ll Be Loving You Again” exits the listen with a raw, folk friendly finish that is universally embraceable.
Hinterseher delivers an aptly titled effort here, where his vast talent and experience comes together via playful, exciting bouts as well as vulnerable moments of extremely accomplishing songwriting .
