Fifth wave emo can only be described as a treasure trove of new and exciting sounds for the emo genre. Emo itself has not sounded this fresh since the advent of emo-rap, and even then, something about this new wave of artists brings a whole new meaning to what emo is and sounds like. On this brand-new album from Lua, the Brazilian-based artists, we see an accumulation of hard work and exploration to create a near-perfect experience with the combinations of shoegaze, ambient, and post-rock to create a dreamlike experience that you must experience on your own. Sonhos tomam conta?s music is extremely hard to describe because of how intricate it is, but the one word that can be used is thick and the closest artist I can compare it to is the likes of Sewerslvt with how thick the ambiance and synthesizers are. If you go into this new album thinking of a normal shoegaze album you will be presently surprised how much more there is. Tracks like ?Onirismo e estações desbotadas? have a lot of MPB and samba influence laced in with the guitar work. On this track on ?Full Bloom of the Evening? there is a bright and muted sax solo that comes in. Without a doubt a must-listen for those into the fifth-wave scene right now because of how intense and intricate this record is.
