Nassif, Thiago – Mente [IMPORT] - New LP

Regular price $ 30.00 $ 0.00
...sinuous and ambitious ... Nassif seems to have found lush space between bossa nova and no wave" The Fader

"It’s music of nowhere and everywhere, disappearance and arrival, the archive becoming the now." - The New York Times

"Crunchy and distorted, yet undeniably funky" - The Wire

“The leading light of the new generation of Brazilian songwriters” - Arto Lindsay

Thiago Nassif is a Brazilian musician, composer and producer based in Rio de Janeiro, whose impactful mélange of pop, jarring no-wave, and edgy Tropicália has slowly been turning heads the world over.

Gearbox Records presents his latest album "Mente", co-produced by no wave icon Arto Lindsay, and representative, via its diverse list of accredited musicians, of the progressive, new-generational music scene that is bubbling away in Rio.

The album’s title is a Portuguese homonym meaning “mind” and “to lie”, and represents Thiago’s attitude towards what he calls the “post-truth” state of Brazil’s political regime. Mixing together the languages of Portuguese and English, Thiago goes deep into no-wave, experimental electronic music, Tropicalismo, jazz and rock, moving between funk carioca to dystopian, distorted bossa nova, and beyond.

●「新世代ブラジル人ソングライターたちを導く光」
- アート・リンゼイ(アーティスト)

●「彼のレコードには、サンバを奏でる痛烈で調子の狂ったトン・ゼーやエルザ・ソアレスのざわめき音と彼の柔らさが詰まっている」
- ロバート・クリストガウ(音楽批評家)

●「次から次へとメロディが生まれては置き替わり、表面上は耳障りだがそのコアは完璧な音楽でできている」
- アフロポップ・ワールドワイド(米ラジオ)


リオデジャネイロを拠点とするミュージシャン/作曲家/プロデューサーのチアゴ・ナシーフの最新アルバム『メンチ』。

ポルトガル語で”嘘をつく”もしくは”マインド/精神”を意味する同音異義語の『メンチ』 は、前作に引き続きアート・リンゼイが共同プロデュース。ノーウェーブ、エレクトロニッ ク・ミュージック、トロピカリズモ、ジャズ、そしてロックからの影響を更に深く掘り下げており、アルバムのサウンドは、現代ブラジリアン・ミュージックからノイズ、ファンク・カリオカから歪んだディストピア的ボサノヴァの間を行き来している。

また、サンパウロの女性S.S.W.ラウラ・ヴローナとネグロ・レオによるハーモニー、クラウディオ・ブリトによるブラジルの伝統的楽器アタバキ(ハンドドラム)とチンバウ(パーカッション)、そしてヴィニシウス・カントゥアリアによるドラム、ヒカルド・ヂアス・ゴメス(ミ ニモーグ・シンセサイザー)らが参加。チアゴは今作について、「このアルバムは、音楽と反 音楽の合流点での緊張を追求し、それがアルバムの美学を際立たせている」と話している。
