"Neighbourhood", directed by Maria João Bilro
This is the fourth full-length album in Minta & The Brook Trout’s history. It’s the one with the smaller number of songs in it, and the one with the longest songs we ever played.
(Francisca Cortesão, Minta & The Brook Trout)
It’s the one with the least acoustic guitars and the most keyboards, the first without a single ukulele strum. It has a lot of stuff that made it to the final version all the way from my home demos, so I do love the fact that “demo” is part of its title.
(Francisca Cortesão, Minta & The Brook Trout)
