Beyond the Fretboard: Diving into Rodrigo y Gabriela's "Mettavolution"

Prepare to have your perception of acoustic guitar shattered! Rodrigo y Gabriela's 2019 Grammy-winning album, "Mettavolution," isn't just a collection of songs; it's a profound journey that showcases their continued evolution as artists and thinkers.

The title itself, a portmanteau of "Metta" (a Buddhist concept of loving-kindness) and "evolution," perfectly encapsulates the album's core philosophy. Rod and Gab aren't just master shredders; they're musical philosophers, using their two acoustic guitars to explore themes of human potential, compassion, and the pursuit of a higher consciousness.

From the explosive, percussive energy of the title track, "Mettavolution," which immediately grabs you with its intricate rhythms and fiery flamenco-meets-metal sensibility, to the expansive and mind-bending 19-minute reimagining of Pink Floyd's "Echoes," this album is a testament to their unparalleled skill and daring creativity.

What makes a "Mettavolution" song so compelling?

● Intricate Interplay: It's a masterclass in two-guitar synergy. Rodrigo's intricate lead lines dance effortlessly over Gabriela's relentless, percussive rhythms, often sounding like a full band rather than just two instruments.
● Genre-Bending Brilliance: While rooted in flamenco and Latin influences, "Mettavolution" fearless weaves in elements of rock, metal, jazz, and even progressive rock. There are moments of furious thrash-metal energy ("Mettavolution," "Electric Soul") juxtaposed with more introspective, almost meditative passages ("Krotona Days").
● Conceptual Depth: Beyond the technical prowess, each track seems to carry a piece of their philosophical exploration. You can feel the intention behind the music, a striving for something deeper than mere entertainment.
● The "Echoes" Phenomenon: The album's centerpiece, their cover of Pink Floyd's "Echoes," isn't just a cover; it's a reinterpretation that honors the original while stamping it with their unique identity. It's a testament to their interpretive genius and a track that leaves listeners awestruck by its sheer ambition and execution.

"Mettavolution" is more than just an album for guitar enthusiasts; it's an experience for anyone who appreciates innovative musicianship and art that pushes boundaries. It's an invitation to listen deeply, to feel the raw energy, and to contemplate the "mettavolution" within ourselves. If you haven't taken this sonic journey yet, now's the perfect time to plug in and let Rodrigo y Gabriela guide you.

The Wood Brothers have announced a 17-date U.S. tour this fall in support of their forthcoming studio album Puff Of Smoke, due August 1 via Honey Jar/Thirty Tigers. The tour begins November 6 at the Bijou Theatre in Knoxville, TN, and makes stops across the Midwest throughout November, with performances at Old Forester’s Paristown Hall in Louisville, KY, Pantages Theatre in Minneapolis, MN, and Riviera Theatre in Chicago, IL. The second leg continues through the Northeast in December, including shows at the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC, Roxian Theatre in Pittsburgh, PA, and Brooklyn Paramount in Brooklyn, NY, before concluding at Lebanon Opera House in Lebanon, NH.
​
Artist presale tickets for the newly announced dates are available today, June 18, at 2 p.m. CT. Local presales begin Thursday, June 19, at 10 a.m. local time. General on-sale starts Friday, June 20, at 10 a.m. local time at thewoodbros.com.
​
Alongside the tour announcement, The Wood Brothers have released “The Trick,” the third single from Puff Of Smoke. Sonically distinct from their previous work, the track is anchored by Jano Rix’s distorted Fender Rhodes and a driving upright bass figure by Chris Wood. Lyrically, it explores themes of detachment, which have become a recurring focus in the band’s recent songwriting. “The Trick” follows earlier singles “Pray God Listens” and “Witness.”

In a premiere of the song and its lyric video via MAGNET, Oliver Wood shared: “‘The Trick’ is about how we beat ourselves up with self-doubt and constant worry, and how nice it would be to be more bold and ignorant—which is easier said than done. But not giving a damn seems like the goal if you want to stay present, positive, and creative. The song itself was built upon a Fender Rhodes run through distortion and octave pedals that Jano Rix was riffing on in the studio. While that's a different recipe for us, it was very much an improvised performance, so it has an energy that most of our fans can appreciate.”
​
The Wood Brothers’ summer tour is currently underway, including co-headline dates with St. Paul & The Broken Bones in June and July, along with festival and headline shows through September.

Major shout out to ‪@phish‬​ and their contributions to the music industry. Honestly, they should have been inducted to the Rock & Rock Hall of Fame this year. Ideally, they will be inducted at a later date, but their impact to music and rock music specifically is impactful to many generations.
