Petrus
Petrus is not on this occasion a review of a fine Bordeaux, or the London Restaurant, rather the project vehicle for the singer songwriter Víctor Petrus based in Menorca in Spain. I find myself heading back to the Balearics’ in short order, with this time, a completely different sound.
The folksy based music has a sense of wide open rolling plains, with a derivation emerging from early era Westerns. Víctor Petrus is an experienced film score musician and this resonates through the music. Though in in his recent release - To the future we belong - he has secured an intimacy of sound which translates well to music for an evening at home with a partner and a quiet dinner.
That being the case it may be pertinent to wonder why Petrus appears on the indie bands blog at all. The over riding question is always, not whether the music is essential to my play-list but has something to add to the wider space of music and without doubt Petrus is able to add considerable value, as the music kneads a range of influences to a first rate dough which rises like as it proves.
