Nery MLUV002

33 offers the most fine and rare form of sensitivity. Nery blends electronic and acoustic patterns as if they grew up together, proving that having differentiated influences can result in something particular. If "Silent Light" brings the uttermost Flying Lotus feelings, where Nery's beat dizziness and its multiple percussion atmosphere drags to a Super Mario gameplay, "Snake's Head" pushes soul to a modern era, where every backing vocal, drum beat, and synth is exactly where it should breathe. Demonstrating an incredible understanding to drive us between worlds, each track presents something fresh but somehow related with our own innocence: from the organic and delicate textures in tracks, "Give U" and "Mom" where Teebs and Shigeto can be felt on the horizon, to a dauntless and original pop beat in "Jealous" or to the swirly dance between synths and guitars creating a sui generis coloured pattern ambience in "Jigsaw About Noise Known Illusion" like an aurora borealis. 33 takes us to journey of reality and fantasy where the Portuguese producer spent more time in studios, while recording musicians and searching for unique details than producing his tracks. To fully dress his musical drawings, Nery summoned fourteen artists, including jazz musicians, percussionists, singers and producers: including for instance the Austrian-Taiwanese Soia (worked with Raashan Ahmad (Jakarta Records) and Jazzo & Melodiesinfonie (Soulection) - the Belgian movie director Margo - remixed by LTGL (Tangram) - or the Portuguese Elisa Rodrigues - vocalist from These New Puritans - as singers, the wonderkid producer Holly and the Berklee College awarded Andre Fernandes, which make 33 even more balanced and brighter.

As a debut album, 33 reflects an immediate and impregnated delicate sense of palpable feelings. Nery's meticulous management of silences and texture dynamics lead us to an odyssey of each one's own essence.
