Glaciers & One Last Hail Mary: The Dreamy Sounds Of Sandro Bevilaqua

Introduction

Sandro Bevilaqua is back with a double helping of goodness for your soul. Glaciers & One Last Hail Mary are easy to sink into, and showcase his warm, welcoming style but in different ways.

With comparisons to Jeff Buckley and Thom Yorke, the sky is the limit for Sandro. We previously featured his song Red from debut EP Lila, as our song of the week so that is well worth a read and listen too!

Review

Glaciers

Glaciers opens with a sense of real expansiveness that instantly pulls you into it’s dreamy orbit. It is enough for me to ignore the sound I can’t fully identify and I do not really enjoy. You could argue it pumps up the intrigue in the track though.

Vocals and drums arrive together like the perfect pair, creating a relaxed tone. Think relaxing in the Spanish summer sun, or quietly people watching in a coffee shop. The slower pace of the drums and occasional crashing of the cymbal help maintain that calm and blissful feel.

One of the strongest moments comes during the softer vocal section, accompanied only by acoustic guitar. It gives room for the track to breathe before smoothly transitioning back into the wider arrangement. Lines like “Loving was never easy, for anyone” carry a real understated emotional weight that fits the dreamy nature of the track perfectly.

One Last Hail Mary

One Last Hail Mary feels even richer instrumentally, with a sound that I believe is a keyboard running throughout. But I could be wrong. Before the vocals enter, there is teasing from the guitar that is interesting, but more importantly well done. Once those vocals chime in they feel richer, more layered and supported beautifully by the guitar. Filling the track without ever feeling overcrowded.

I compare Sandro’s music to a chocolate bar. You probably only originally intend on taking a small amount, but before long you have consumed the entire thing. With a massive smile on your face and feeling infinitely happier for doing so.

His song writing and vocal style are done in such a way that means the music is effortless to listen to and really easy to lose yourself in. One Last Hail Mary also has this strong Folk/Indie vibe to it that gives it massive crossover appeal. Fans of Mumford & Sons for example are going to love this.
