{"product_id":"des-trambelhar-ou-nao","title":"Des (Trambelhar) Ou Nao","description":"\u003cp\u003eA joint release between Discos Nada \u0026amp; Litoral. Alcides Neves’ unique second LP ‚Des (Trambelhar) Ou Não’ is reissued for the first time on vinyl, alongside his first release ‚Tempo de Fratura‘.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSomewhat of a concept album, this LP was conceived as having a predominantly experimental A-side and a more folky B-side, with songs influenced by Alcides’ native Northeastern Brazil. Alcides chose to release his second record independently as well, owing to the risk-averse nature of the labels at the time. Indeed, rather than adapting to the demands of the labels and making more romantic or commercial music, Alcides went in the opposite direction and released the most experimental record of his career.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is an album with distinct identities on each side but with an experimental bent throughout. The LP’s sounds are reflected by its striking cover, which collates some of Alcides’ artistic heroes - Frank Zappa, Gilberto Gil, Jimi Hendrix, Arnold Schönberg, Igor Stravinsky (to whom he also dedicated a song on the LP) among others, above an artwork in the style of Northeastern Brazilian folk art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy blending traditional regional Northeastern elements with an experimental approach and influences from 20th century classical music, Alcides Neves crafted one of the most unique Brazilian records.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarefully remastered by Paulo Torres with updated original artwork, the record is reissued in a gatefold sleeve including a promotional image from the time of release. This LP furthermore includes an insert with a text written by the journalist and researcher Bento Araujo, editor of the bimonthly publication ‚Poeira Zine‘ and author of the ‚Lindo Sonho Delirante‘ series of books.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Litoral","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50417070801227,"sku":"1167410","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/f9291639-e872-4480-97b3-cf37509285d4_thumbnail_4096.png?v=1726715734","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/des-trambelhar-ou-nao","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
