Mining retro-Brazilian forms like samba, funk, and tropicalia, Kassin +2 (including bass player Moreno Veloso, son of superstar Caetano Veloso) still manages to come up with something fresh and post-modern underneath layered references and homages. The primitive rhythm machine and vocodered vocals on "Samba Machine" harks back to silly, innocent `60s and `80s pop hits, even as the organ riff and searing guitar are all business. "Simbioticos" meshes a lovely melody worthy of Jorge Ben to an insistent, house-like beat. "Homen Ao Mar" is a straight-ahead piece of funk-rock with a sinister guitar line and sexy vocals that will get the most jaded hipster dancing.
