#139 Seu Jorge - Cru

Heard about his new one on dusted, got this one instead - also, this is apparently the guy who did the Bowie songs on The Life Aquatic, so that's cool.

I could launch into sub-rants about how non-English vocals affect me, or about the Brazilian sound, but these posts are getting sort of bloated. I don't even know what I'm doing on here anymore.

Its a pleasant listen. Mellow and cool, never insisting on itself, but with enough pulse and texture to brighten your day. And its actually pretty diverse, almost to a fault, when more aggressive, electronic numbers bust up the flow. A good summer album, with crooney singing, swiped guitars and shuffley beats 3.5/5
