Frango Eletrico, Ana - Mormaco Quiema (2025 Reissue)

A charming, idiosyncratic blend of MPB, Tropicalia and indie from one of Brazil's shining stars. Raw, quirky and lo- fi, it's a debut album brimming with attitude and youthful energy, characteristics that would go on to define their sound. 'Mormaco Quiema' has a cool, laidback, swagger channelling '90s bands such as Pavement. The arrangements feel loose and easy, the opener, 'Farelos' (Crumbs), seems to ebb and flow on a razor's edge before the percussion and Antonio Neves' trombone draws the song into a structure.
