Liam Finn

"





















Os números azuis em papel branco cabem na palma da mao. Decrescem.

Os minutos de silencio recomecam a adquirir espaco, desta vez tranquilo.

A sobrevivencia na pele de Sísifo.

É uma reciclagem dos tempos. Enquanto o baú acumula a olhos vistos mas sem se dar demasiada atencao aos pedacos, por aí espalhados.

Though I’ll Be Lightning is his first solo album, it’s not by a country mile the 24-year-old’s debut musical endeavour. Liam’s first publicly visible use of those aforementioned skills came in fronting the band Betchadupa, a close knit outfit of childhood best friends with whom Finn relocated from his native New Zealand to London in early 2005.

A debut album a few years in the making now, I’ll Be Lightning is a record on which Liam Finn – over a two month period in Roundhead Studios in Auckland – like some bearded, Kiwi version of Prince, plays, records, engineers and produces nigh on everything you hear. It’s a process born out of a strikingly singular, unshakable vision, a desire to record the songs exactly as they were in his head, free of outside influence. It seemed, and was, the only way he could have done it."

Tal como a música, é pegar em crivos pendentes e ouvi-los de novo. É estranho como o mesmo pode já nao o ser, anos mais tarde.
