Toranja - Esquissos

Review by Milton and Pam Orgeron

Esquissos, the latest album by Toranja, is a masterpiece of modern Portuguese rock. The band, which has been active since the late 90s, has always been known for their introspective and poetic lyrics, but in this album, they take it to the next level. The songs are deeply personal and emotional, and they deal with themes such as love, loss, and the passage of time.

Musically, Esquissos is a departure from Toranja's previous albums. The band has experimented with new sounds and textures, incorporating electronic elements and subtle orchestration. The result is a rich and layered sound that perfectly complements the lyrics.

The album opens with "Vintena", a haunting and atmospheric song that sets the tone for what's to come. "Cidade" is a standout track, with its driving rhythm and catchy chorus. "Cenários" is a beautiful ballad that showcases the band's talent for melody and harmony. "Quando A Cabeça Não Tem Juízo" is a playful and upbeat song that provides a welcome change of pace.
