A record not only released on vinyl but designed and created to be released on vinyl. This is how Avian Heart<\/a> was born. It is the second reference of the Sevillian duo BeatLove<\/a> on the Beautiful Accident<\/a> label. Benjam\u00edn Jim\u00e9nez and Myriam Fern\u00e1ndez surprised us at the end of May with this video clip<\/a>. In it, they both travel to the countryside, to the heart of nature in Huelva (in the South of Spain), where they meet the urban artist Wild Welva. He draws on a wall the cover of the album, previously conceived in his studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a record for both quiet listeners and someone who wants to party. It has many contrasts, although it has been mainly conceived to listen live.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Despite Myriam’s words, we at Xceed were captivated when we first heard Avian Heart<\/em> in the office. The opening track, which gives the album its title, introduces us to a bucolic and natural environment, where the sound of the same birds that illustrate the cover takes us in a flight and brings us closer to the soft but intense percussions that set the pace for the rest of the tale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We stopped at \u201cHourglass\u201d, the A3 on the record and the third of the six tracks that make up the album. It is, of all of them, the most paused and contemplative. We dare to say, even the most elegant. It repeats us \u201cWake up, it’s your time\u201d several times, while the synth embraces us, the drums sway us and the hi-hats shake our necks up and down, eyes always closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
