Le Almeida - Todas as Brisas LP - IFB104

Brasil's master of lo-fi 90's indie/psych/grunge worship returns with yet another masterpiece of the genre.  For easy references, think Guided By Voices or early Pixies, but on this record Le adds more of a psychedelic element to these tracks - a bit more stoned if you will, but maintaining his signature ability to take a simple riff and turn it into something truly special.  There are riffs on this record that I could live the rest of my life with on a desert island.  Perfect raw pop for an ugly world.  Burn some candles and turn it up loud - it's the last thing we can count on.  These are $10

Le Almeida - Paraleloplasmos LP - IFB083

Le Almeida hails from Rio in Brasil and has been super active pumping out lo-fi indie/grunge/punk for years now.  If you have heard the Tape Rec - Death Friends LP, this is from the same minds and should be right up your alley.  This record is just absolutely perfect raw pop - if you want to feel like you're in a convertible on your way to the beach, this is the perfect soundtrack.  All art features Le's amazing collage work.  Truly if stuff like Guided By Voices, Built to Spill, Butterglory, Pixies, Sonic Youth, and 90's indie in general spark your interest, this is guaranteed to please.  Aysia says it might be her favorite album ever.  These are $12 in an order or $16ppd on their own.
