// SaffronKeira "Tourette" (Italian)

Well, here we are. About a half year after the superb "A New Life" double disc release from SaffronKeira on the Denovali Label we have a brand new album. "Tourette" follows the same overall soundscape of the debut release but pushes it in a new direction. When I first heard the works from SaffronKeira (Eugenio Caria), I was reminded of the artists who inspired me to write my own music. Eugenio manages to wrap all these various artists styles and production techniques up in own way, add in some of his own ideas, throw them up in the air and see what lands. Its an incredible emotional journey through quite a familiar yet also slightly disturbing soundscape that moves you.

With the debut release Eugenio wanted to tell of the story of life, from the beginnings to the end from the joys of new life to the sadness of loss. With this new release, SaffronKeira instead takes you into the mind. As its name suggests, "Tourette" talks about mental disabilities and the difficulties of coming to terms with what this means. Also like the disease itself, the music can have spontaneous outbursts where it changes direction and hits you with something digital and harsh the next moment it could hit you with something very emotional. The best track that shows this is the frankly superb "1859-1904". 

There are many highlights on this album that must be heard to fully appreciate. If you are looking for a taster of these tracks, you can find videos on youtube.com. These are as follows:

This new album is a natural progression for SaffronKeira and its great to see that Eugenio Caria is kicking out new material at a great rate. For those who love music by Max Richter or the Mexican genius that is Murcof, this and his debut release are must buys.
