aloud sprezzatura

​Aloud (from the album Sprezzatura available on Lemon Merchant Records)
The sound swirls on Sprezzatura, the recent release from Aloud. Organ swells haunt “Twenty-Third Fresh Start” using a Rock backbeat while Aloud offer some advice, the band checking into “Lovers of the Last Resort” with a stomp, Jen de la Osa spitting out a sermon for the heart handing Henry Beguiristain the microphone to surf the sunshine, top-down pop of “Cresting Waves. Sprezzatura is a spinning wheel of style, Soul horns supporting Aloud in the political message of “Hungry Land” as the album calls a spotlight dance for the Doo-Wop seduction in “In Spite of Language”, hammers out a welcome with opening cut “Loving U’s a Beautiful Thing” and heads towards the exit on the revolving rhythms of “Been So Long Since We’ve Seen the Sun”. 
 
Forming in Miami, Florida in their teenage years, the core of Aloud, Henry Beguiristain and Jen de la Osa, found a mutual love of the big rock of Oasis and The Who, a sound separating them from the rest of the working-class Cuban neighborhood where they grew up. The music of Aloud served a dual purpose, allowing the pair to create their own musical imprint and carve out a space for themselves, Jen recalling that ‘from the beginning, music has been a way to express ourselves, and to grapple with the major issues in our lives. Back then, we didn’t always feel like we fit in, but music set us apart. It gave us an identity’. A pounding Rock’n’Soul rhythm spreads out like a smile when Aloud cruise a highway song with “Waiting (Scenes from a Lonely Planet)” and trade in security for convenience in “Renters for Life” as Sprezzatura channels 80’s new wave for “Oh Danny”.
