Trails and Ways’ Irresistible Blend of Sound [stream]

Even if you don’t have the language skills to understand Trails and Ways’ lyrically woven Portuguese, Spanish, and English verses, the evocative syncopation of the drums and tradeoff of lusty male/female vocals is unmistakably irresistible. After traveling across Spain and Brazil, lead singers Keith Brower Brown and Emma Opper, unlocked the cultural secrets of jazz/tropicalia and applied it to their own original songwriting style incorporating the reverb and extremely tight dance beats characteristic of dream pop. Brown and Opper swap leads every other track on the Trilingual EP, but never failing to actively participate in echoes and harmonies of the Spanish and Portuguese hooks. Trilingual consistently overflows with a melange of layered melodies from all instruments and voices involved — it will undoubtedly woo you with its romantic refrains (and languages!).
