soul jazz records presents: tropicalia - a brazilian revolution in sound


soul jazz records can do no wrong. every compilation they put out is phenomenal and chock full of completely unheard of, incredible songs from around the world. this comp is full of scratchy, sharp guitars and brillo paddy horns ranging from ultra soft to wholly assertive. soaring brazilian vocals. super duper highly recommended for people who enjoy music.

os mutantes - a minha menina
gilberto gil & os mutantes - domingo no parque
caetano veloso - alfômega

black dice - repo (2009)


on repeat. textures, textures, textures. sounds a lot like the album art looks, and i picked it up in amoeba because it caught my eye and i'd been meaning to give black dice another serious go around in my headspace since hearing two excellent compilations featuring their music.* the more you get into this album, the more it gets into you. repo is sort of the aural equivalent of putting all kinds of toys, children's or otherwise, into a garbage compactor and squeezing it out of a massive playdough extruder.

black dice - glazin
black dice - earnings plus interest
black dice - vegetable



*black dice - pigpen (from the ultrafluid two-part living bridge comp; pigpen is also on black dice's load blown, released in 2007)

other notables on living bridge (2008):
avey tare - i'm your eagle kisser
telepathe - i can't stand it
fischerspooner - amuse bouche



*black dice - trip dude delay (from hisham bharoocha's they keep me smiling... compilation, released april of 2004. the above image is not the album art as drawn by hisham, but it conveys his similarly happy, confused, bubbly vein of collage/line art. zang.)

other notables on they keep me smiling...:
gang gang dance - rugs of prayer
animal collective - the kite
delia gonzalez & gavin russom - relevee
tes - it's like dat
