This is what test tube said about this release
«All improvised music compositions, and most instrumental pieces, are strongly illustrated by the freedom they concede to the interpreter. On ‘Sitting San’, the composers act on the work’s structure and reflect on the notes duration or sound streams. This collective, called Frango, has Jorge Martins on guitar & bass, Rui Dâmaso on guitar & drums and Vítor Lopes also on guitar & drums, and they write unfinished and indefinite messages all over this release. We are not (at all) before a work that asks to be rethinked in any given structural direction. There are 5 tracks full of improvisation patterns, and they have the ability to unbalance the order therein (yeah!). Throughout ‘Sitting San’, drone guitars humanize the process, with synapse-like and stripped down keyboards here and there, and hit-and-run drum breaks, which transports us to a creative work that is - lets say - not tonal, as if there were no laws and no dogmas, taking away from the listener the possibility to predict where the compositions are heading. ‘Sitting San’ keeps evolving towards its end, adding new space, our space.» - Bruno Barros

I don’t know how to explain the thoughts and feeling that have brainstormed my mind when i heard “sitting san”. One of the things that occurred to me was: “tortoise”! I apologize for the comparison but it was indeed that what happened. I pictured far lands in my head. Far lands of my head! A verb to describe this album: travel. When you hear this album, you’ll be instantly projected in far lands, and just wonder. For a debut album, i believe it’s really an impressive piece of music, and thank god they’re Portuguese! We needed a bright, talented and fresh band as “Frango”, in this music scene. One of my top 3 music discoveries on 2005. Thank you Frango..
