MÓ BAD

It's official: Satanique Samba Trio has become my favorite contemporary artist with this one. I bought it by the end of March and it is still spinning, both in my head and on my record player. In the end, "Mó Bad" is quite the earworm, which is already an accomplishment by itself, considering the fact that every single tune is absolutely weird. I mean really really weird: one could describe "Mó Bad" as a compilation of whacky avantgarde-bossa-nova-samba-jazz bagatelles (short unpretentious instrumental pieces, according to Wikipedia) recorded with cell phones and old tape recorders by some mad scientist from Brazil. When musical themes born from such an environment get to crawl up into your brain, it's hard not to surrender. I did. I love it. I'm doomed!
