Breis "On"

Breis "On" (p)2020 Sweet Song/ Producciones Acaraperro

“M”, the previous release of Breis, apparently was Manolo’s attempt to create a ‘magnum opus’ of sorts, a career-defining record meant to demonstrate all of his skills at their fullest. I don’t think it turned out a success, honestly. While listening to that record I almost physically felt like one of my favourite Spanish singers/songwriters just tried too hard drowning himself into piles of details and overtones. There are some good news: fortunately, “On” is completely free of this flaw. It sounds like Manolo Breis returns to what he does best: the sincere and soulful roots-rock songs with touches of ‘classic’ rock-n-roll. It's way more streamlined. There's nothing extra here, at least nothing more than you need to. It showcases all the best strengths of its auteur with no palpable stress or tension, acting as a successor rather to 2013's "Invisibles" than to more recent "14 Pla De Palau" or "M".
