Originally released in 2020. Thiago Nassif is a Brazilian musician, composer and producer based in Rio de Janeiro, whose impactful mélange of pop, jarring no-wave, and edgy Tropicália has slowly been turning heads the world over. Gearbox Records presents his latest album Mente, co-produced by no wave icon Arto Lindsay, and representative, via its diverse list of accredited musicians, of the progressive, new-generational music scene that is bubbling away in Rio. The album's title is a Portuguese homonym meaning "mind" and "to lie," and represents Thiago's attitude towards what he calls the "post-truth" state of Brazil's political regime. Mixing together the languages of Portuguese and English, Thiago goes deep into no-wave, experimental electronic music, Tropicalismo, jazz and rock, moving between funk carioca to dystopian, distorted bossa nova, and beyond.
"It's music of nowhere and everywhere, disappearance and arrival, the archive becoming the now." --The New York Times
"Crunchy and distorted, yet undeniably funky" --The Wire
