The work on this album began at the end of 2019. Originally, the plan was to create a big collaboration, but then the pandemic hit… and you know how that went. By mid-April 2020, I—Marcos Garcia—decided to rethink some aspects of Vartroy. I realized I needed to take full control to keep creating music the way I envisioned. And so, I did! But… since I wasn’t entirely sure how it would turn out, I split the album into two parts—and that’s how BLACK & WHITE was born (including one track that isn’t part of ANOMALY). The response was positive, so I dove headfirst into this new project: ANOMALY. I’d say this album marks the second—and definitive—step in VARTROY’s new era. I hope you enjoy it!
O trabalho neste álbum começou no final de 2019. A ideia original era fazer um grande colab, mas então veio a pandemia... e você sabe como foi. Em meados de abril de 2020, eu — Marcos Garcia — decidi repensar alguns aspectos do Vartroy. Percebi que precisava assumir total controle para continuar criando música do jeito que eu imaginava. E assim, fiz isso! Mas... como não tinha certeza de como ficaria, decidi dividir o álbum em duas partes — e foi assim que nasceu BLACK & WHITE (incluindo uma música que não faz parte de ANOMALY). A resposta foi positiva, então mergulhei de cabeça nesse novo projeto: ANOMALY. Diria que este álbum é o segundo — e definitivo — passo dessa nova fase do VARTROY. Espero que você curta!
ANOMALY was a turning point in VARTROY’s history - a rebirth, a moment of reinvention. It marked the first release where Marcos Garcia took full creative control, transforming the band into a solo project. ANOMALY REIMAGINED reinterprets this seminal album, featuring completely re-recorded vocals and a remixed instrumental landscape. This project is a major milestone in this journey, especially for the vocals, which now carry a distinct and definitive identity. More than just a revisit, ANOMALY REIMAGINED sets the stage for a new creative era, paving the way for groundbreaking future works.
This album is dedicated to my beloved wife, Paula Bitondi, who passed away with cancer in December 2020. Without her unwavering support, endless affection, and infinite patience, this album would never have come to life.
