It wasn't actually Tantric that followed me, but
bassist Scott Wilson. He does some bass-related merchandising on his own, so I
am including his specific links at the end as well.
(And let me say, links are important, because the
immediate search engine results for "tantric" focus heavily on sex
and yoga.)
I had heard of Tantric before but never listened; I
ended up really enjoying them. Singer Hugo Ferreira brings a layered richness
to the vocals, blending warmth and pathos. I suspect I would have better ways
of describing it if I were a coffee drinker.
The rock is generally straightforward and strong on
guitar, but they incorporate some interesting departures as needed. There is
effective use of more orchestral elements on "The One", and the intro
to "Love Song" reminds me of Hendrix.
I especially appreciated "Mourning", and
while covers of "Let It Be" are never necessary, theirs is good
enough to justify itself.
It feels like they would be easily enjoyed by Alice
In Chains fans, and possibly better for the couples among those fans. There is
plenty of pain in their music, but not without the ability to enjoy love.
I suppose that's helpful if they want to live up to
their name.
Scott Wilson
