Lay claim to the world as a sphere of your own agency is Jorge Coelho’s new release, a return that follows the same measure as his previous works: short and coherent, elements of a broader world that, this time, serves to introduce a roster of collaborations—some new, others not so new—in a solo record. This is not a new direction, however, but rather a step towards discovering a universe of complexities calmly described through fingerpicking and measured notes in these five new pieces by the Porto-born composer and guitarist, always bearing his sparse yet precise, raw yet intense signature. It is another chapter in a plane of existence that Jorge Coelho has claimed as his own—and one that we are fortunate to inhabit with each new piece he presents.
