The jigsaw are a reminiscent of a music that was thought lost in time.
The title says it all. When you hear the music of this album of the Jigsaw, comes to the memory spontaneous friendships among strangers, the complicity of looks and bohemian nights lost in the foam on the sea. Moreover, there is an audible influence that is purposely grim throughout the album. The gloom of the deep voice of Joao Rui set us to parallel worlds, made of shadows and deep and cold thoughts as the ocean. "Strangest friend" is a journey, that bring to mind the sound of the Nick Cave or Tom Waits and they very own unique style of conducting the words. "I've been away for so long" is another pearl of this album that transports you into a world of departures and arrivals, the comings and turnings, without a final announcement. It is a sound trip, a return to the origins of country music. There are melodies that warm the heart and inspire the soul in this discographic work. The song that gives title to the album is a search for our own horizon, as the vocalist says. The "last waltz" and the theme "even you" is homage to the overwhelming energy of the city of Rome. "No more" and "devil on my trail.", on the other hand, are black music, full of evil spirits that become words. "My name is drake" speaks of Sir Francis Drake, a famous sailor and corsair. "Roftop Joe" is also another of the characters that populate this CD, if stories are credible or not, no matter, what is essential is the way we traveled through these twelve songs of this band of Coimbra, that doesn't even seems Portuguese.
