Brazilian Girls - “Homme”

Brazilian Girls are one of the few bands that can have a chorus like “Pussy pussy pussy marijuana” and have that shit stuck in your head for days (that’s from a song called “Pussy” which I think I’ll put up tomorrow).  This cut is from their self-titled first album, which is decidedly a little more chill than their follow-up.

In my opinion, this band (or at least, this record) always kind of sounded like it belonged in a film noir at points, and I think this song is a great example; an interesting, mysterious world music/jazz sound, with cooing, sexy (and multilingual!) female lead vocals, and beautiful—but almost understated—backing instrumentation.  Other songs, like “Corner Store,” “Me Gustas Cuando Callas,” and the aforementioned “Pussy,” should be played on a lazy summer’s day.  Some of their songs you feel like you should be smoking a cigarette to, and other songs you feel like you should be by the pool kicking back a few margaritas.

This all may seem a bit superficial, but it’s about 6:45am here and I’m still just getting over being sick. :)
