This is what test tube said about this release
«The 'alentejano' Daniel Catarino has kept for his second volume as Long Desert Cowboy a not so guitar-based, less Ry Cooder-esque sound than what is explored in the first volume (curiously, it's this one who gets to be titled 'Western Spaghetti).
This is an album of shades, isolation, reflexion and patience, which bets higher in 'what isn't said' than in 'what is said'. It finds some parallel in the piece "Banda sonora para um dia normal", from Landfill, another moniker from Catarino, but in this case the emphasis isn't placed in the patchwork of contrasting elements, instead it's put in the building of impressionist exercises.
"For the Money", for instance, makes itself of unknown origin sounds from different planes, delay-soaked, accompanied with patient synthesizers. In "Kicking the Sand", a monastic voice waves above some bluesy guitars and what seems to be field recordings. As for "Tired of being fucking poor and honest", it's guitar ambient in shy levitation.
with or without its companion 'Sandshoes', 'Western Spaghetti' is an apropriate record for late night mental introspection.» - Pedro Rios

quando reencontrei o meu amigo Daniel, após alguns anos, e ele me disse que andava a fazer umas músicas, pensei que fosse mais um daqueles casos de amigos nossos que dizem que fazem e acontecem, e no final não sai nada de relevante. daquelas coisas que acabamos por ouvir porque somos amigos. estes dois albuns apanharam-me completamente desprevenido. mais o segundo que o primeiro. o ambiente é cativante e embrulha-nos logo à primeira, coisa estranha para algo tão abstracto como a música do Daniel, e dei por mim já esquecido que o que estava a ouvir era ele, o mesmo gajo com quem andei à escola, o mesmo que me disse que a música dele "não era grande coisa" que "era só sons sobrepostos". muitos parabéns, e é para continuar. mas a sério..
