about

Elã (pronounced Elan) is the new record of the brazilian instrumental/post-rock band Kalouv, formed by Basílio Queiroz (bass), Bruno Saraiva (keyboards), Saulo Mesquita (guitar), Túlio Albuquerque (guitar) and Rennar Pires (drums). The album was composed between december of 2016 and march of 2017, in a country house named Sítio Santa Fé, located in the interior of the state of Pernambuco in Brazil. Also the record became possible by a crowdfunding campaign, raising 124% of the goal in 45 days.

Between the time of composing in the Sítio Santa Fé, the nine tracks of Elã gained life and made the musicians develop new ways of creating music. This process brought more direct songs inspired by contemporary music that goes from alt rock and IDM genres to pop from the eighties. Therefore the post-rock that guided the previous records get new colors and goes off the sobriety and introspective tone to give space to tracks guided by synths, rhythmic guitars and vocals, with more interaction between drums, bass and piano.

Created in 2010, the band has in their history two full length albums, Pluvero (2014) and Sky Swimmer (2011) and an EP, Planar Sobre o Invisível (2016), all of them being well received by brazilian and foreign medias. In this fourth work the band tries to bring new musical influences and colaborations to the album, like Sofia Freire in the tracks Elã and Pedra Bruta, Yukio in the track Mergulho Profundo and RØKR in the track Hotline Miami. The record had the recording, mixing and mastering by Bruno Giorgi, sound engineer behind other brazilian music projects like Lenine (winner of Latin Grammy), baleia, Vitor Araújo and others. He also participated in the album adding textures and rhythmic mixing designs to the album.

The graphic art and design project is signed by Thaís Jacoponi, resident of the city of São Paulo, Brazil. The image of a person hugging this black risk represents the energy that the word Elã brings: innovation, impulse, drastic force. The record was named after we met a little dog in the country house called Elã. The name drew our curiosity because is an unexpected name to put in a dog, so we looked for the meaning and found that it connects entirely with the feeling we were trying to put in our composing time. Also, was a meaningful word to represent our friendship and the stories that we constructed together in seven years as a band.

Português

Elã é o novo álbum do grupo instrumental pernambucano formado por Basílio Queiroz (baixo), Bruno Saraiva (teclado), Saulo Mesquita (guitarra), Túlio Albuquerque (guitarra) e Rennar Pires (bateria). O disco foi composto entre dezembro de 2016 e março deste ano no Sítio Santa Fé, em Carpina, interior de Pernambuco. Com produção de Bruno Giorgi, foi através de um financiamento coletivo que se tornou possível, arrecadando mais de 100% da meta.

Formada em 2010, a banda possui no currículo os álbuns Pluvero (2014) e Sky Swimmer (2011) e o compacto Planar Sobre o Invisível (2016). Em Elã, eles trazem novas influências e parcerias com Sofia Freire, Yukio (Hugo Noguchi), RØKR (Roberto Kramer).

Durante o período de imersão no sítio, as nove faixas do disco ganharam vida e fez com que os integrantes desenvolvessem um novo modo de criação. O processo trouxe canções mais diretas e inteligíveis, num diálogo ainda mais próximo com a música independente contemporânea. Sendo assim, o post-rock que guiava os discos anteriores ganha novas cores e sai do tom de sobriedade e introspecção, dando lugar a faixas guiadas por sintetizadores e riffs curtos de guitarra, mas com uma interação ainda mais forte entre piano, baixo e bateria.
