Lavoura – Photosynthesis (2015)




  • Yacht pop/rock 
  • Alternative pop 
  • Fusion 
  • Synth-pop 
  • Easy listening 
  • Mood music

Comment: this set of 7 tracks comes out of Brazil and it is an exquisite amalgamation of many pleasant things, from azure-tinged electronic keyboards in the vein of yacht pop, smooth jazz/fusion and synth-pop and easy listening meanderings. It may sound a bit naive (deliberately), however, it is sweet and counterbalanced with witty gears and dizzy progressions. It is retrodelic and futuristic at the same time because of reminding of the 80s, especially some bands who started producing easy listening electronic music at the time of the Moscow Olympics in the USSR (particularly in the Baltic States) yet it is vamped up with contemporary production trickery. It is freed from sweaty burden of a hard day's work within this bloody exhausting machine of slavery, it is pleasure, it is fun, it is sunshine. It is an example of constructive way of creating act by creating simultaneously emotive and artsy effect. The arousing issue is a part of the discography of a Japanese imprint, Bump Foot. Set yourself free.
