In Between Thoughts…A New World (CD)

In a testament to the expressiveness and depth of Rodrigo y Gabrielas musicality, In Between ThoughtsA New World wordlessly leads the listener through a complex narrative complete with plot, emotional arcs, and plenty of dramatic tension. Mixed by James Monti (The Who, The Head and the Heart) and mastered by Greg Calbi (Tame Impala, Beach House), the album marks a sharp departure from the duos signature acoustic sound, with Rodrigo trading his acoustic guitar for electric, adding a mercurial new energy elegantly amplified by the duos subtle use of analog synths, Mellotron, and other electronic instruments. Rodrigo y Gabriela also worked remotely with Vienna-based composer Adam Ilyas Kuruc and The Bulgarian Symphony Orchestra, who ornamented the duos serpentine arrangements with lush strings and powerful percussion. Yet even as it pushes into uncharted sonic terrain, the album draws much of its power from the singular dynamic thats always distinguished Rodrigo y Gabrielas music, a delicate interplay between Gabrielas potent and percussive strumming and Rodrigos breathlessly fast yet intricate lead guitar work.
