"If Brazil continues to produce albums as delicate and emotionally complex as [Moreno Velosos's 2001 release] Music Typewriter, [it] will occupy as honored a place in the 21st century as it did in the 20th." -- TimePart of the vanguard of next-generation Brazilian musicians, composer-singer Moreno Veloso and + 2 (Alexandre Kassin and Domenico Lancelloti) meld the traditions of Brazil--samba, bossa nova, MPB (música popular Brasileira)--with their own distinctive brand of electronica, dub, Dadaist noise experiments, and sweet art-pop inflections. Like his father (legendary Tropicalismo pioneer Caetano Veloso), this Veloso points to an idiosyncratic yet seductive vision of new Brazilian music that embraces past, present, and future.
