Curio Curio - Curio Curio [Vinyl]

Dive into the unique soundscape of Curio Curio, a project born from the serendipitous meeting of Rio-born singer Luiza Monteiro and German producer Dustin Braun. This album offers an uplifting, heartfelt Brazilian MPB-groove experience, artfully blending psychedelic disco and studio experimentation. Curio Curio describes their sonic vision as 'not straight disco, not straight samba, not strictly old-school but inspired by all of them, creating something contemporary but still nostalgic'.

This modern fusion draws inspiration from Brazilian legends like Gal Costa and Jorge Ben Jor, as well as contemporary artists such as Say She She and Bala Desejo, forging a distinct path of its own. The music is a celebration of freedom, movement, love, and life, interwoven with moments of introspection. The album delves into themes of identity, culture, and existence, particularly from the perspective of a Brazilian living in Europe, exploring the complexities of belonging when home becomes plural.

Braun's production employs analogue techniques, tape, ribbon microphones, and live ensemble recording to create a tactile quality. Highlights include 'Bem Querer', which captures an authentic samba street vibe, and tracks like 'Amor Doente' and 'Mar sem Dar Pe' that explore relationships resisting clarity, while 'Menina Passarinho' touches on the fear and necessity of committing to music.
