november 2025: new album out!
deceive
After a long hiatus, the new albums is finally released.
A couple of songs are very old, the rest are quite new with a less produced fashion although the quirky Bacum style is always present.
NO ME BUSQUES MÁS: the album starts with a pop oriented tune in Spanish. The summer love is there... and soon gone.
SALIR: the companion to the previous track both sound-wise and in the lyrics... perhaps part of a two parted story.
It features Sosojey on lead guitar, backing vocals and effects.
AMERICAN EXPRESS: one of the oldest songs, reworked as a modern wall of sound landscape and lyrics picturing a mid 1800 story set in the U.S.A.
MISS YOU WHEN YOU'RE GONE: a song for the departed.
WELCOME TO MY WORLD: an old song and the most electronic of the album with a sound similar to the tunes on the first album, All.
WHAT I DO: questions, questions and a pop song as an answer.
ALGO MEJOR: the oldest composition of the lot (previously Blueapple) but heavily reworked this time in Spanish brings back my appreciation for the french duo Air.
BONFIM: the first recorded song in portuguese with a bossa nova style in the first part and an opera-like section that ends this voyage from Ipanema in Brazil to the Royal Albert Hall in London.
