Jardim-Pomar
Jardim-Pomar (Garden-Orchard) is the eighth studio album by Brazilian singer-songwriter Nando Reis and his band Os Infernais. It was recorded in São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil and in Seattle, Washington, United States, with the help of producers Barrett Martin and Jack Endino. Its lyrics deal with themes such as death, faith, absence of God and passions.
Jardim-Pomar took one year to be prepared due to the fact that Reis had full control over everything, forcing him to work according to his financial situation. For him, "this time of maturation was very good for the music, because it could develop to places which otherwise it wouldn't". He also defined it as his "most complete and complex, most toilsome album, but it came out exactly like I wanted it". Released in November 2016, it was ready since April.
It was produced by Jack Endino (who had already produced his previous album, Sei, and some albums by Titãs, Reis' former band) and Barrett Martin, with whom he collaborated in the past. Commenting on their work, Reis said they "are friends and work together, but have totally different methods when producing an album. This brought a unique personality to each song, in spite of them being in a group inside the album, something I always seek".
For Reis, "the work is always a frame of the moment we live in. I prepared it in no hurry, in one year, and it is optimistic and excited, even with some lyrics dealing with sober themes." About the lyrical themes, he commented:
Making music is a way of organizing my thoughts, of trying to formulate them. There is no explanation, obviously. To compose is to put in words an intense and painful feeling. Because of that, I write a lot about things that happen to me. I talk about death, time and God's existence. This does not mean I am depressed. I feel absolutely happy, despite many of these songs having been written in moments of deep sadness and difficulty.
Reis refers to the single "Só Posso Dizer" as "one of those songs that appear to emerge ready as soon as the first verse and melody show up, almost as in a dream. Jack Endino (producer) told me it looks like a song from another time". It is featured in two versions: one recorded in Seattle and a slower one recorded in São Paulo nine months later. Reis compares it to the song "Isn't It a Pity", by George Harrison, released under two different versions in All Things Must Pass (1970). The song was composed after his wife, Vânia, 2,5 years before the album release. "It is a beautiful song, somehow sad, but it is also a revision of a long love story which is never linear [...] it is about this love that resists detrition, about knowing what one wants, despite everything. The chorus summarizes it well and cites a verse by Lupicínio: 'Não consigo dormir sem seus braços' [I can't sleep without your arms]. It's shards and sections of a relationship which compose a beautiful mosaic." About the song and its versions, he also said:
When I composed this song, two or three years ago, I though: wow, this one is beautiful. I have a good single. It gives that click. Its chorus is clear and thrilling. I wrote the lyrics in a moment of great sadness. It is a simple song in terms of harmony. I remember the guitarist that recorded it back in Seattle had great difficulties in memorizing the notes. I couldn't understand why. Afterwards, Barrett Martins [sic] (producer, American) said nobody nowadays was doing songs like that because it was simple. It had a beginning, a middle and an end. After recording it in the United States, I thought it was slow. I didn't want a big ballad on the radio. It wasn't supposed to sound like that. My intention was to compose a more pop and faster version. That's what I did. And hence the two versions.
"Inimitável" talks about tolerance for differences and was written based on Reis's childhood with a deaf brother and a sister with cerebral palsy; both conditions resulting from their meningitis. "4 de Março" is another song dedicated to Vânia, which whom he was for over 30 years by the time of the album release. The date which names the song (4 March) refers to an important event to the couple, but Reis did not want to give any detail. "Concórdia" is the only previously released song, composed in the 90s and released in 2003 by Elza Soares in her album Vivo Feliz.
