Sounds Of Innocence is Kiko Loureiro's fourth studio album, and takes influences from jazz, blues, traditional Brazilian music, and mixes it with progressive metal to create an album full of fresh sounds while remaining true to his progressive metal roots. Felipe Andreoli and Virgil Donati provide bass and drums throughout.
Within the first few seconds of 'Gray Stone Gateway' you can see why Loureiro has been ranked as one of the top guitarists in the world. This is a player who is at the top of both his creative and playing game, and the album shows why. He doesn't set out to give you ten tracks of pure shred, but take you on a musical journey with many vibes and excellently constructed solos throughout. This album is a great piece of progressive metal art.
This download version of the album also comes with a bonus live video performance of 'Ray Of Life' filmed specifically for JTC.
