BIOGRAPHY
Erudite Stoner is a one man acoustic project from Brazil with influencies of post-rock, shoegaze, classical guitar, stoner/sludge,doom and black metal. Erudite means scholarly and this gentleman certainly knows his way around a fretboard.
In December last year the man released his self-titled, debut album in the self-distribution. The nine-track journey takes you through some very thought provoking moments. There are solemn and dark undertones throughout this album where we found ourselves taking a hard swallow. The beauty, however, lies in the consistent shining light that emanates throughout the beautiful melodies. The solid production provides a very soft and intimate feel, where you can hear quality squeaks in the chord changes that will send chills down your spine.
All nine tracks are very solid. The album maintains a conservative consistency not taking too many risks. Perhaps our favorite tracks entail "Ride to Nowhere" and the seven minute wonder "Roads to Somewhere" where both tracks intertwine with a central melody. The change-ups on both these tracks are down right inspiring. Check-out the momentum and energy that builds within "Ride to Nowhere." Instrumental in nature, the music is a different take on the genre, focusing on the softer moments of post-metal bands. Arrangments focus on classical guitar, but at times still carry an inherent heaviness to them.
Erudite Stoner is an album that we will find very good use for over the years. Its ability to lower our blood pressure and improve cholesterol levels should not be discounted. This is a very heartfelt piece of work that you will enjoy putting on be it during that cold Winter night, that crisp Fall morning, or that breezy summer day on the lake.
Although this album he presents himself as Metal listeners, it soon becomes clear that the worlds he targeted, are not in the dark folk, instead seeks instrumental Acoustic Guitar plate for wide open spaces, towards acoustic stoner rock and Indie Nostalgia and escapism dominate. Conclusively, warm melodies are developed without wanting something out here. The route is the goal.
