Lembranças by Impacto Cinco
If this album cover doesn’t do it for you, just press play….
There you go.
They get a little more psych-rock on the rest of the album but this one has the jazzy progression and the swanky sax. The singing is copping Joao Gilberto.
Lágrimas Azuis means “Blue Tears”. Como adequado.
Salsaness by Radiation City
Portland 4-piece Radiation City blends bossa-influenced pop with darker dream drones (check out the track “Summer Is Not An Act 1” for the latter). Although a few acts come to mind (Mosquitos, Beach House, Grizzly Bear, Télépopmusik), Rad City occupies a unique space of its own.
You can stream/purchase the full album on their bandcamp and grab the cassette release via Apes Tapes.
They are currently on a west coast tour that you can follow on their tumblr. Catch them at the Silverlake Lounge on Wednesday 5/4.
