Solar Corona

By this time it has become natural to assume that Barcelos' water can carry something special within. What it is we can't be sure, but what it has been doing for Portuguese rock is an admirable achievement. Solar Corona were born within the creative bubble of a city that shows how to write rock with crooked lines. How it should be. Formed in 2013, in 2016 they've reached a stable formation and settled in as a quartet, with Rodrigo Carvalho (guitar / synthesizers), Peter Carvalho (drums), José Roberto Gomes (bass) and Julius Gabriel (saxophone / synthesizers). Following the release of three EPs between 2013 and 2016, Solar Corona reached Lightning One, an album that summarizes the result of years of hard work searching for the sound that would triumph in this lineup. Lightning One is a trip to the top, with the right coordinates in the mix, made by José Arantes, mastered by Chris Hardman and artwork by Serafim Mendes, which transcribes in an image the immensity of psychedelic-tropic roads that merge into this Solar Corona. 2022 will see a new full lenght album, now dropping the saxophone and featuring Nuno Loureiro on synths/dub/fx
