Tomás Pagán Motta has a voice that effortlessly cuts through the legions of guitar slinging songwriters with its weary tone, sweetly soaked in emotion and wrapped in inquisitive lyricism.
Previously known under the pseudonym the Petticoat Tearoom, Tomás now seems to forego any kind of inclination to masquerade as anything other than his genuine self and this is made apparent by his most straightforward album to date—the warm and honest, self-titled Tomás Pagán Motta (on Eight Gang Switch).
We are proud to exclusively present the album’s final track, “I Have Been Lost (Reprise)” which echoes Big Pink-era Dylan in its subtle balladry and folk traditionalism. It is also a wonderful key for Motta to play in as it allows him to push his vocal to the top of its register, accentuating the power of the freedom-craving lyric.
Tomás Pagán Motta’s self titled debut release lands in stores March 3. On vinyl.
