SPR4WL

In A Place That Stood Still is an album made of places that stood still in time. For better or worse, they are places that didn't change very much over the years, it might mean resistance but it may also mean decadence.

THE SPR4WL

Minted in concrete is the day the house was completed - March 23, 1982.

The most comfortable coffee in a delicious place you'll never find.

He stood there. A mixture of discomfort and sadness. He was talking on his phone a minute ago but now is just standing there looking into the distance. I saw a group of young people drinking beer and having some sort of impromptu barbecue. I saw a small family sitting there with their kid. Between his breath he said something like "saudade".

A small blue chapel stands alone on the side of a dirt road with "Festa Junina" decorations.

Echoes of Silence Decades of neglect have left a town in oblivion.

A shattered piece of glass stands tall and alone in the window of a house, in a city that was left behind.

Two friends talk about their day in a sunny afternoon outside a grocery store in a small city in the countryside of Minas Gerais.

And I kept an empty mailbox.

A quiet road, In an endless timeline A moment.

You Can Have My Love

As large industrial coffee farms in the region get bigger, a small tree seeks to survive, rather than dream.

A house sits in the corner of a small town in the countryside of Minas Gerais. The cyan blue doors and windows together with the cracking walls show signs of better times that were left behind.
