Travesura - "Messenger Pigeon" - Gatefold Vinyl LP

TRAVESURA, the long running musical project of Leo Romero, return with a brand new LP. On the ten tracks that make up Messenger Pigeon, TRAVESURA conjure up a two sided coin of restless romanticism and roguish irreverence. There’s a wicked country rock tale of ill-fated love with an exotic dancer (“Fund The One You Love”) juxtaposed against the cautionary and quavering ballad of the dangers of confined ire (“Fall”); a barn burning ode to the freedom of the open road (“New Blue”) contrasted against an introspective and autobiographical hymn (“Greatness Can Live”). The album is capped off by the 7 1/2 minute deep-fried, fuck-yeah, blues-eruption title track (“Messenger Pigeon”) that builds to a towering pyre of slide guitar that will shake the fillings right out of your teeth. The songs are world-weary and well-lived in; the playing is impeccable and effortless; and everything is fastened together by Leo’s unmistakeable vocal delivery. Hard to believe it was recorded in just four days at The Ship Studio in LA.

Housed in a beautiful gatefold sleeve featuring hand drawn design elements by Leo, this is an LP we couldn’t be more proud to be a part of
