If the interviews had a regulation, certainly not happen before 11am. When at 10h30 become drowsiness shared between interviewer and interviewee, answers or questions between yawns. Unless, of so many interviews in the same place, face the interviewee already become familiar. Which, if the interviewer is gentle, it is reason to ward off evil demons morning. Still does not remove us from stupidity than anticipated at the time. Panic when almost sleepwalking, becomes giant, to the point of sending a message to the press officer: “It’s normal to have not yet come no one?”. Otherwise André Henriques had not come before the message is even sent. Claudia Guerreiro, Helio Morais and Pedro Geraldes parked immediately afterwards, with urgent coffee desires. In the midst of all this should not be forgotten: “Sirumba” is the fourth album of Linda Martini, this Saturday, 2 present in Lisbon Coliseum. And henceforth no coffee. Only Linda Martini.
The title track is heard: “I do not want to be a doctor.” But the truth is that it is almost as doctors come to this fourth album.
Helio Morais (h.m.): (laughs) … But we do not feel well. now we are still learning what we want or how to draw a disc that we think … I think we’ll ever get to a point where we find it.
Claudia Guerreiro (C. G.): Yes … be PhDs in Linda Martini (laughs).
André Henriques (A.H.): So because we likes the amateur side, not in contrast to professional, but that idea doings without being a Full. It has a lot to do with our origins, we are all self-taught. We like to cultivate this idea commandest fingers to the side and be in with a note, that is not right, but that sounds along.
But surely realize what they suggested. There are a Linda Martini in 2006 come by are Naked and now at Universal … I have another status, more people to like your music.
Pedro Geraldes (ug.): I do not know if we have, it seems so. For this record we do not know. But we felt this progression, of course.
This greater media coverage influences somehow your process?
AH: No, the only thing that is different is that at the beginning, no one is expecting you to do anything, but it happens right at the turn to the second disk, which is an EP, the “marsupial”. Then we feel that people were already waiting for anything. Now, it is never a concern, we function much like a traditional garage band, just not now rehearse in a garage. It’s one thing the navel and not think about what someone is thinking outside the room.
What did the navel for this drive?
A.H .: It was funny, we felt we were doing something something different. Not to say it’s a breakthrough, it was not the “Kid A” by Radiohead, not we turned the doll and went to DJs, but there was something different. We were glad when after leaving the single has been said that we were washed face, not only were we to feel it.
How washed?
A.H:. There is a fundamental difference in this disc: is more rhythmic. We seek other solutions, another palette in terms of pace and this was also due to the way I and Peter addressed the guitar. We have always been guitarists of the reed, a practice that came with us punk and hardcore, and so we started playing with fingers. By doing so you will get drawings, chords and fingerings ever conseguirias with the reed, and it came dictate other options for low and the battery.
To many, no more no less?
A.H .: Yes, do not ask me why. What did I say is that the “Ten Pennies,” music that is funny to not appear on the disc, influenced us brutally. The process was different and is a song that is characterized by being calm, downtempo, with a syncopated beat that was something we had not explored much in the past. This song made us see that it can also be us, instead of being always to eat the guitars all at once, the whole distortion on the table, maybe we can let the instruments they hear and restraint be a weapon Wow.
And that weapon is this “Sirumba”?
C. G .: is a street game that consists of a large rectangle with six squares inside. The squares are occupied by thieves, the police are in the corridors trying to catch the robbers. It was a game that I think all we played in our prep school. Marks a phase of our life, between 10 and 13 years, whatever. Sirumba to me means Censored, rap tuga, Guns’n’Roses … what was heard at the time.
So what’s the reason for this game come now to the fourth album?
C. G:. For now because it’s a hell of a name
.
h.m:. began as song name, Andrew did that letter and then put on the table the possibility to call this to the drive as well. It’s a cool name because if googlares not appear many references …
confirm that it is not easy …
h.m .: … just so the name turns out to be yours. It is easier to associate it to us. Then because we liked the sound and have joke that the disc name has the name of a song, is the first time that happens to us. It is a phonetic question that then end up getting a funny meaning around it, what Claudia said, all we ended up sharing the same timeline that same school … just do not know each other.
The first single released was that the “Unicorn Sta. Engracia”. Are big names in the …
A.H:. Normally we give provisional names to the songs just to orient ourselves. And in this case we had that initial and final riff that was kick-ass, we felt very good after only 30 experienced solutions and it looked like the riff that came after was never as secure as the first. Then the music became a puzzle, every day we played it and was not going anywhere, I have about 30 versions of it on my phone. The idea of Santa Engracia came there, the works of Santa Engracia that never end. And we still get the unicorn, had even more fun, that unattainable thing you can not grab, so the question of being prey or predator as it says in the letter. It is of the few cases where there is such a strong concept that predates written that after even seems easy.
Linda Martini are types of “Eating for Two” or are politically correct and never repeat?
ug:. We appetite, like eating well
.
C. G:. Yes, nothing correct in food.
A.H .: We are good mouth, no doubt. And one of the important parts of the concerts are the meals.
have this type of care or if you need to shoot to a Portuguese stew before climbing the stage?
C. G: Before going to stage usually does not happen because they do not usually serve cooked at night, but only for it.
You dealt with it quietly?
C. G: So do we treated.
A.H:. But yeah, like delicacies and go to restaurants, fortunately our team is also good and always take a guide to find a quaint sites.
C. G .: At the point we make detours to go to Seia buy wine, things that make no sense. Seriously, ever happened to do a detour of 100 kilometers to go to the Intermarché Seia buy good Dão.
This is beautiful.
C. G .: It is beautiful, but stupid too (laughs).
It is also stupid to ask you feel prepared to make their debut at the Coliseum. As if that …
C. G .: But it’s good you place it that way. It is because you know that this question will have an answer …
Answer, answer.
C. G:. On the one hand it is clear that yes, think “ouch Colosseum, never thought.” On the other … the other day I was talking to a cousin who told me: “Hey, you go to the Coliseum, just very prestigious bands is that there will.” Not really. The Coliseum is a room, is investment. Risk there, if few people you’ll be at a loss. We believe that we can put it with enough people to do not scatter to long.
h.m:. In the background are no more than accounts. Now, if we are prepared? We are never in the presentation of a disk because it is always a concert where you’re going more jittery is the first time you present those songs to the public. But this weakness is also interesting.
