Moments Worth Listening For
The haunting children's choir introduction on Ponta de Areia that feels like a ghost of the past.
The explosive, rhythmic shift in Fé Cega, Faca Amolada where the acoustic strumming meets a sharp, driving groove.
The way Milton's falsetto dissolves into the reverb-heavy piano on the closing track Simples.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
