Moments Worth Listening For
The hypnotic seven-minute groove of Odara where the bassline becomes a spiritual mantra.
The sudden, startling imagery of a technological indigenous savior descending from a star in Um Índio.
The delicate, almost whispered vocal harmonies that close out Alguém Cantando like a lullaby.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
