Building upon tremendous critical acclaim and consistently sold-out
performances, Brazilian Girls return with the eagerly anticipated Talk To La
Bomb.
Late last fall, the band entered Jimi HendrixÆs famed Electric Lady Studios in
New York City with producer Mark Plati (David Bowie, The Cure, Dee Lite). Ric
Ocasek of The Cars produced the song ôLast Call.ö The band was inspired by their
surroundings and quickly began composing material. With the resulting 12 new
tracks, they push their innovative fusion of electro, dub, pop, punk and dance
music to more elaborate and edgy arrangements.
Building and expanding upon their signature polyglot sound, front-woman Sabina
Sciubba alternates between five different languages on the albumùEnglish,
German, French, Italian, and Spanishùoften delivering this melting pot of
languages in one sentence. In keeping with the bandÆs combination of glamour and
humor, Sciubba declares, ôThe future of this planet as we know it, the human and
animal kingdom, and the plants, depends solely on this record. YouÆre welcome.ö
Talk To La Bomb is co-produced by the band and Plati and Ocasek. It was mixed by
Tchad Blake and Rich Costey. Brazilian Girls are joined on the album by Clark
Gayton (trombone, baritone, saxophone), Peck Almond (woodwinds), Ric Ocasek
(guitar), Jorge Continentino (flutes, saxophone), James Zollar (flugelhorn,
trumpet) and Mauro Refosco (percussion).
Their eponymous debut earned tremendous critical acclaim. The New York Times
described the band as ôcatchy, musically ambitious and proudly
theatricalàirresistible,ö Entertainment Weekly praised the album as
ôàunceasingly irresistible,ö while the Associated Press called it one of the
ôtop 10 albums of 2005.ö Rolling Stone wrote of the band ôàso finessed that they
leave their scent on every musical landscape they visitàö and The Miami Herald
said ôàthe best debut in a decade, since Missy Elliott, PJ Harvey, Massive
Attack and Sleater-Kinney first blew peopleÆs minds.ö
Brazilian Girls are Sabina Sciubba (vocals), Didi Gutman (keyboards), Jesse
Murphy (bass) and Aaron Johnston (drums). Based in New York City, yet comprised
of four globetrotting members (none of whom are Brazilian and only one of whom
is female). The band boasts an equally strong visual image, led by front-woman
SciubbaÆs innovative sense of style.
