Sangre de Muerdago is a creation of Pablo C. Ursusson. He is a renowned musician, composer, painter, sculptor, writer and free soul, wandering through deep forests and the world's oceans. Toghether with several guest musicians like Georg Börner and Erik Heimansberg he created a true gem. The EP Os Segredos da Raposa Vermella is this society's latest exploit.
O Almos Dos Dolmen uses the typical genre instruments; heavy beats on big drums and timpani, bells, whitles in all possible shapes and sizes, lyres and old string instruments. It is amazing how beautiful they can all sound together.
And you can keep your arms locked together during Ursusson's Polka. I have visions of medieval scenes in which men intoxicated with ale and busty women in wide skirts waltz around a dusty courtyard without any hesitation. On the other hand Agullas De Agarimo sounds slightly more pleasing. Halfway through the flutes take over and bring lyrical notes while bombastic timpani and/or drums continue rippling.
The start of An Dro is surprising with a slightly jazzy intro and fingerpicking at a guitar. No pounding percussion or other spectacle here.
Lovers of the folkgenre will enjoy this EP very much. Fill your drinking horns with dragon blood, mead or some kind of rubarb wine, press replay and go all the way. And above all: enjoy!
