'We first heard Lô Borges as singer & songwriter on the mighty Clube Da Esquina, Milton Nascimento's 1972 epic double record. That record has been a consistently steady seller since we listed it, and with good reason, it's incredible! But while Nascimento and Borges actually collaborated together on much of it, it's mostly regarded as a Nascimento record. So it's great to see Lo Borge's self titled debut solo album from the same year finally get the reissue treatment & shine a much deserved spotlight on this underrated artist. And we have to say it's equally as incredible and essential as Clube De Esquina. Recorded when he was just entering his twenties, the scope of artistry on display seems to be by someone so much more experienced. Not only is Borges at the top of his game as a singer & songwriter, but the arrangements and musicianship are just as dazzling. Most of the songs barely squeak over the two minute mark, but he packs so many ideas into a song without losing its central focus and at the same time giving everything lots of space. Here and there a string section drops in and out, a flurry of baroque piano, soaring flutes, a jazzy organ swell, searing electric guitar, hints of electronic psychedelic washes. At times romantic and mysterious, other times more urgent with rhythms picking up and slowing down in tempo to evoke a wide range of emotive qualities.' ~ Aquarius hype

snatch the reish

this sleeper/creeper really permeates the pineal in a roundabout way. before i knew it, i was totally enveloped in the atmosphere. a pair of raggedy ole adidas never sounded so good. 320 easy breezy beautiful sunsoaked jams
