Pega Monstro - Casa De Cima (2017) Lossless

'Casa de Cima' opens with 'O Miguel' its first line translating as "I changed the strings on my guitar". Like the first line of a spell, the words entreat you to hear how much Pega Monstro have grown in confidence and vision, they are trying something new. There is no rush, only effortless intent, they sound compelling and assured and let the song unfold in its own leisure. The stunning 'Partir a Loica' follows with its stammering rhythms and soaring, swirling vocals. The song's title, literally 'break all the dishes', is a saying in Portugal meaning to shake things up and exceed expectations, a worthy title indeed.
