Untraditionally Brazilian w/o any percussion (or Brazilian rhythms) in "chamber-pop-inspired" cd. Acoustic instrumentation (fiddle, cello, clarinets, guitar, double bass) and pleasing male voice creates a jazzy/folk sound; the lyrics are the most unique feature across tracks this album. All tracks mellow/ slow tempo. Good for chilling out or learning Portuguese. FCC Clean. English (E)/Portuguese (P)
Recommended Tracks: 1, 2, 3, 9
1. (4:37) [We are safe under my blanket] (P) Vocal count, solo bass intro. Nice female voice in chorus. Ends with whispered giggle.
2. (4:14) (E) Spoken intro. Folksy, strong likeable accent. Nice fiddle. Light.
3. (3:20) [Take your things] (P) Sweet melody, strings, bass, nice clarinet accents.
4. (3:02) [This] (P) Tempo changes create movement between chorus and verse.
5. (3:04) [Icarus] (P) Similar feel to the rest of the tracks that follow.
6. (3:42) [Fart and speak seriously] (P) Starts with whispered laugh, weird clanging. Waltzy.
7. (5:58) [Your reggae] (P) Not a reggae song. Momentary drum effect. Mellow.
8. (2:48) (E) Voice and guitar only. Slow lovesong. Vocals too loud.
9. (3:26) (E) Channeling the Beatles feel a bit, and a little soul.
10. (5:33) [But until then] (P) Slow, pensive melody.
11. (4:01) [I'm the arrow] (P) Spoken intro. Slow, deliberate tempo.
12. (3:04) [I will heart my heart] (P) Slow, sad. slightly painful.
13. (2:36) [Measure] (P) Slow, nice rhyming.
14. (3:48) [A green background] (P) Cute accordion accent to guitar and voice.
15. (3:03) [Plastic] (P) Slow, sounds like it should have more punch than it does.
16. (1:12) [Has] (P) Nice, dramatic but mellow, accordion accents
17. (3:26) [Bethany] (P) Goes from slow to slower, accordion accents
18. (4:14) (E) All guitar version of track 2.
