RELEASE DATE

Selva Discos keeps broadening horizons. Its next release celebrates the start of a new series called
Novaterra
, this time focused on showcasing the music of contemporary Brazilian artists. First up is
Zopelar
, known not only for his work with the anarchic-techno-punk act
Teto Preto
but also for the project
My Girlfriend
and his solo LP, both on Apron Records.
Novaterra Vol. 1
by Zopelar is a mini-LP featuring six tracks that range from the introversion to the extraversion. In one hand you have an A-side banger like "Be Together", with its addictive looped-sample, and in the other, you get the laidback interlude of "Modo Avião", which sounds like one of those
MF Doom
's instrumentals -- and between both, you will find a whole spectrum of music where you can experience the duel between super crispy beats (a signature in Zopelar's work) and the richness of melodies and harmonies that he's able to knit stitch close to perfection. The opener "Livre" has a great deep house vibe that makes you think of Prescription Records and Jazzanova, featuring a catchy bossa ad-lib. "NOX" is a Hammond-led tune with a groove bassline and lead that gets you going in no time as if
Cesar Camargo Mariano
and
Larry Young
toured together in the late '70s, like, a big, fat jazz-funk tune. "Dias Tensos" is a nervous drum workout led by an automat
Tony Williams
as if jamming in a 16-bit version of
The Tony Williams Lifetime
. And to wrap things up, "Boogie da Paz" is one of those perfect comedown tunes -- a true tearjerker that works its melody line like a good pill works your serotonin, making it one of those tracks that you keep under your sleeve for those special 6 AM moments on a dancefloor. The artwork is courtesy of Colletivo Design Studio in Sao Paulo.
