Always providing for space for each other while still bringing the heat poignantly, the members of the Curia manage to walk that fine line between under and over playing, with deliberate indulgence, creating a scape as odd and alien that is difficult to box.With various outstanding personal works, the members of curia, Afonso Simões, David Maranha, Manuel Mota and Margarida Garcia, share a common ground- the lisbon..s underground- but each has a very personal history and their music clearly reflects that - everyone there feels free to play whatever they like but the result has an unique character even being free from style barriers. Together they shaped a space of continuity and at the same time re-write the territory of their approach to music.Formed in February of 2007, their sound comes through the layering and gathering of each individual's unique personal language. Two releases, namely the eponymous Curia CD on Fire Museum Records and LP Curia II on Headlights.
