Strangelove present its first project, two songs from Lena D'água, one of Portugal's great musical acts of the early 1980s. Combining a siren presence and soaring vocals, alongside songwriter Luis Fonseca and backing band Atlântida, they released a series of records that wove through the avant-pop sensibilities of the time. Collected here are two of their more leftfield moments; "Jardim Zoológico" is a beguiling mix of new wave, post punk, and dub into a short sharp pop format. The calmer "Tao" takes Fonseca's keyboards towards more Eastern territories, conjuring up a dreamy synthesized new age vibe.
