Laurel street is the meeting point between Steven Munar and Pablo Sciuto, two songwriters with certainly two very different musical careers but with something greatly in common: the love of folk-rock of Anglo- Saxon roots from the 60’s and 70’s. In the first recording we find five songs of their own creation with references to the masters but the outstanding personality of the two composers gives new vitality to the genre:
Laurel Street: First track of the CD and a remarkable presentation card of the duo. With echoes of Jethro Tull, Richie Havens...
Roller Coaster Man: Intimate and cheeky, intense and fragile...bipolar as it couldn’t be otherwise e with such a title, it is maybe the most British of them all. References to Ray Davis at his most folk.
Wait and see: The most pop and sixties of the five. Brincos, Love, Don McClean...
The Splendour of the day: Delicate and refined. Echoes of Nick Drake or Tim Buckley.
The Rain: Beautiful last song: the transparent and emotional The Rain, with a surprising ending where the Hammond plays an outstanding part.
