Contraviento :: Desencanto (1983)

Via their 1983 album Tercia, Uruguay’s Contraviento drift quietly through “Desencanto,” where guitar, woodwinds, and voice dissolve into an unhurried acoustic haze. Harmonic movement stays restrained and peripheral, allowing the track to hover in an open-ended hush. Delicate and unforced, it passes through almost weightlessly, more akin to something briefly overheard than performed. Perfect.
