about

"Icarus" is the fourth album of The Child, released by brazilian label Exhaust Valve Records (BA). Thanks to: Marcelo França.
Icarus was the son of Daedalus who dared to fly too near the sun on wings of feathers and wax. Daedalus had been imprisoned by King Minos of Crete within the walls of his own invention, the Labyrinth. But the great craftsman's genius would not suffer captivity. He made two pairs of wings by adhering feathers to a wooden frame with wax. Giving one pair to his son, he cautioned him that flying too near the sun would cause the wax to melt. But Icarus became ecstatic with the ability to fly and forgot his father's warning. The feathers came loose and Icarus plunged to his death in the sea. Literary interpretation has found in the myth the structure and consequence of personal over-ambition.

"Icarus" é o quarto álbum do The Child, lançado pelo selo brasileiro Exhaust Valve Records (BA). Agradecimento: Marcelo França.
Ícaro era o filho de Dédalo, que se atreveu a voar muito perto do sol com asas feitas de penas e cera. Dédalo havia sido preso pelo rei Minos de Creta dentro das paredes de sua própria invenção, o labirinto. Mas o grande gênio do artesanato não sofreria cativeiro. Ele fez dois pares de asas, aderindo as penas a uma moldura de madeira com cera. Dando um par a seu filho, ele advertiu-o de que voar muito perto do sol faria com que a cera se derretesse. Mas Ícaro ficou em êxtase com a capacidade de voar e esqueceu o aviso do pai. As penas se soltaram e Ícaro mergulhou para a morte no mar. A interpretação literária encontrou no mito a estrutura e a consequência da super ambição pessoal.
