Release Notes:
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 ô...unceasingly irresistible,ö while the Associated Press
called it one of the ôtop 10 albums of 2005.ö Rolling Stone wrote
of the band ô...so finessed that they leave their scent on every
musical landscape they visitàö and The Miami Herald said ô...the
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.
