Miguel Feraso Cabral
A Capa do Urso

Rudimentol Records 2025

"A Capa do Urso é um álbum criativo e original: uma obra que assume o kitsch e a colagem como armas críticas, que se diverte a brincar com os limites de género e que transforma fragilidade em potência. É música que sabe rir-se de si própria, sem nunca deixar de ser séria na sua procura de expressão."
Vítor Rua in Rimas e Batidas

Miguel Feraso Cabral: voice (in portuguese), guitars, electronics, drums, bass, tape manipulation, objects

All music composed, performed and produced by Miguel Feraso Cabral

Miguel Feraso Cabral
Deambul

Rudimentol Records 2023

"O título não engana — trata-se de uma música que não repousa, que se arrasta e levita, que se perde de propósito para reencontrar-se noutro espaço. Aqui, a improvisação mistura-se com a composição, como se Miguel fosse simultaneamente arquitecto e flâneur. Cada faixa é uma esquina, cada textura uma ruína visitada. Deambul pode ser lido como uma cartografia íntima da cidade: uma Lisboa transformada em vibração eléctrica, em pulsos rudimentares, em fragmentos de som que não querem ser canção, mas percurso."
Vítor Rua in Rimas e Batidas

Miguel Feraso Cabral: electric guitars, electronics, drums, bass, darbuka, tambourine, objects

All music composed, performed and produced by Miguel Feraso Cabral

"The cryptic nature of the enterprise is exemplified by the closing track. Having neither title nor mention on the sleeve, this heavily fucked-with melody rolls out like the theme tune for the preceding sonic movie."
in The Wire

“An extremely pleasant concoction”
