Sessa: Grandeza (Tangerine Colored Vinyl) Vinyl LP
Solo debut from the artist known as Sessa, co-founder of Brazilian psych band Garotas Suecas.Ā Sessa is a scene fixture in both SĆ£o Paulo and NYC, and GrandezaĀ ('greatness' em PortuguĆŖs) was recorded with a diverse cast of musicians in both locales,Ā an homage to Brazil's rich musical history: āGrandeza is an album about the natural gesture of love and the softness of the human body. Itās also about my love for Brazilian music and its many shapes and colors. I like to think that it exists somewhere among the rituals that celebrate life. Itās a reminder that amongst all the pain, music comes to reaffirm the beauty in living.ā The albumās eleven tracks are vivid and beautifully minimal; Sessa takes his time deploying a vast array of textures that pay tribute to a half century of Brazilian music without sacrificing his personality as it's centerpiece. The title track is a sparse folk tune pairing Sessaās charismatic vocal with back room acoustic guitar; next up āTesĆ£o Centralā sees polyrhythmic congas cascading into a choir of female chants in a wash of analog delay. The vintageĀ Nascimento / Jobim / Valle vibe is deployed flawlessly, but the record has a few tells that place it in the present century: āFlor do Realā is vaguely reggaeton despite itsĀ endearingĀ kitchen floor recording quality; āOrgiaā is a deliberate deconstruction of post-Tropicalia aesthetics. āInfinitamente Nuā is our favorite track, delightfully squirmy with a devastating coalescence of moody strings and voices, like some kind of kindred spirit to Low or Sigur Rosā noisier moments.Ā New pressing onĀ tangerine colored vinyl, includes full color printed insert with lyrics in Portuguese and English.
