The Gift, Open Window

As revealed on Ana's post on January 4th, the Portuguese band The Gift released on January 9th their new record Primavera.

Primavera was announced on the band's facebook page on December 30, 2011.

This new record comes after Explode released less than an year ago, being influenced on a song with new arrangements from their 2011 album - Primavera - and was recorded mostly in ten days on Centro Cultural de Belém. We can notice this new work is more ambient, where the Gift decide to give prominence to the piano and the way of vocal representation. Compared with Explode - with an electronic explosion of color, happiness and movement - Primavera is calmer, probably more mature, showing another more side of this band.

This Primavera sounds more like a beautiful soundtrack than a record from a Pop band. For some this may be considered the best album of The Gift.

With 12 songs, this record is going to be part of an Iberian Tour with almost 20 shows between Portugal and Spain being divided in two different parts of both albums, Explode and Primavera.

After the promotion of this record and Explode, the band is going on a pause due to the singer's Sónia Tavares pregnancy.


"Naked trees around
The swimming pool
Old leaves left on the ground
I finally open up this window"
