  • Lo-fi 
  • Indie pop/rock 
  • Alternative pop/rock 
  • Psych-rock 
  • Blues rock 
  • Noise pop

Comment: this set of 4 tracks comes out of Rio De Janeiro, Brazil by a quartet called Humbra. Melancholic jangly guitars are mingled with dreamy singing that a bit reminds of Slowdive's late period astonishing ballads like Richard, and Summer Daze though the Brazilian ensemble used to exercise otherwise with appealing abrasive bluesy guitars and suggestive hisses coming somewhere in the middle of seedy Delta blues and early Beck. In another place mild noise pop frequencies come to fruition. Lots of beautiful melodies and catchy harmonies can be heard in the meanwhile in highly  appreciated, slight DIY/lo-fi sauce. That's all we needed for. As you have already figured out you get a variegated thrill just within a course of 4 tracks. The exquisite issue is a bit in the discography of Crooked Tree Records.
