Nassif, Thiago - Mente

New Vinyl Record - Thiago Nassif - Mente

Thiago Nassif is a Brazilian musician, composer and producer based in Rio de Janeiro, whose impactful mélange of pop, jarring no-wave and edgy Tropicália has slowly been turning heads the world over.

Gearbox Records presents his latest album Mente, co-produced by no-wave icon Arto Lindsay, and representative, via its diverse list of accredited musicians, of the progressive, new-generational music scene that is bubbling away in Rio.

The album's title is a Portuguese homonym meaning "mind" and "to lie", and represents Thiago's attitude towards what he calls the "post-truth" state of Brazil's political regime. Mixing together the languages of Portuguese and English, Thiago goes deep into no-wave, experimental electronic music, Tropicalismo, jazz and rock, moving between funk carioca to dystopian, distorted bossa nova, and beyond.
