Brazilian Girls - Talk to La Bomb
None of them are Brazilian and only one is a girl, but this NYC quartet almost defies description. Led by vocalist Sabina Sciubba, the Girls mix electro, dub, pop, punk and dance music into a global stew like no other. The group’s second album is the perfect soundtrack for an airport lounge, featuring noir-ish tales of tourists, territories, tanks and sweatshops sung in various languages. In fact, Sciubba sings in English, German, French and Spanish, no less, on the title track and the opening “Jique.” A jet-setter’s wet dream.
