Luiza Fria – the first demo review
Luiza Fria is the Brazilian deathrock-cabaret band, which music has quite “early Cinema Strange” approach in style, but on the other hand, it has the beginning of the XX century cabaret thing. The remarkable fact is that in spite of the band’s minimal sound and above-mentioned “early CS” thing, the band members know how to play there instruments, as the contrary to many Cinema Strange followers.
The demo itself consists of five tracks, the opening weird and tense cabaret “Luiza”, decadent “De encontro com o medo”, thoughtful deathrocky “Tela”, moody “Cinzeiro” and obscure and wild “Turbandes”. All the release is filled with the atmosphere of the beginning of the XX century, cabaret and weirdness, but is has some uncatchable spirit of something primary and natural. One more strange fact of the release is that its stuff has the arrangements which are actually perfect for a demo. So the first “Luiza Fria” release is well thought out and a kind of… mature…. But on the other hand, demo is demo, and this release doesn’t let a listener forget that. So, let’s wait and see what the band will present to a listener after such a decent start, but take your time to have a look at the current release as well, it exactly has a worth of at least a paid attention.
