If you bought one of the last copies of the fantastic Record Store Day compilation ATENÇÃO! NOVOS SONS DO BRASIL has been able to get their hands on, will not be entirely unprepared for the sound and taste explosions that Brazilian singer and songwriter Tim Bernardes has in store on his second album. But watch out, it’s an explosion of soft pop, a wild dance to string melodies, a tapping on the piano under the finely placed clapping beats. Ah, with Tim Bernardes, ears can grow skyward and eyes follow the faint flickering of a psychedelic light show in the distance.
Bernardes was on ATENÇÃO! with an older track and a contribution from his band O Terno (feat. Devendra Banhart and Shintaro Sakamoto). represented alongside well-known musicians such as Sessa, Kiko Dinucci and Ana Frango Elétrico. They all have in common the search for the many layers in the simple songs, the love for the arrangement, the return to the early 1970s: Tropicalia and even more the Música Popular Brasileira. On “Nascer, Viver, Morrer”, the first single release by MIL COISAS INVISÍVEIS, Bernardes transfers the confrontation with the origins to life as a whole, he embarks on a poetic journey from birth to death, his warm voice reaches amazing heights.
