Long-running Sao Paolo duo Tetine (aka Bruno Verner and Eliete Mejorado) link up with Soul Jazz for a debut album - only 10 years in the making! - that's crammed with every manner of new wave, punk, electro and baile funk sounds. If you snoozed on the single, here's your chance to get the sexcellent baile banger "I Go To The Doctor(1)" featuring funk star Deize Tigrona. It's the catchiest song on the album (and unfortunately the shortest too) but that's where the bonus CSS remix(2) comes in handy, with Cansei drummer/covert musical genius Adriano Cintra killing on the production end. There's more funk on "Melo Do Carrao(3)," hushed vox from Eliete on the sinister "Russian Roulette(4)," synth-pop on "Let The X Be X(5)" and the squiggly, almost spoken word single "A Historia Da Garca(6)." 15 tracks; 69 minutes.
