Comment: first of all, it is a mind-boggling issue because of disparate elements have been merged in one whole. Juçara Marçal`s ever-changing challenging vocal delivery recalls such artists as Laurie Anderson, Meredith Monk, Diamanada Galas, Maja Ratkje, Jarboe, i.e being the female vocal artist whose aesthetical spot is put on wobbling between singing and mostly high-pitched vowel experiments. From the background she is supported by untamed sonic experiments by Cadu Tenòrio who exploits tapes, prepared violins, synths and manipulated sounds to call forth interesting resonances between those aforementioned compartments. Musically harsh noise torrents, bugs of brown noise and elliptical rhythms used to encounter buried, silence soaked vowel based moments and spaced-out synth induced layers on top. Juçara Marçal sings and chants in Portuguese. The issue is a joint issue to such Brazil based labels as Sinewave, and QTV Records (both of them involve many solid examples in their discography). In a nutshell, the outing is enchanting because of being built upon intriguing sonic compositions, inner burning and accomplished concept. Completed successfully.
