FRIENDSHIP CLUB #5 - PERDIZES DREAM

It's been a bit of a delay, but here's the fifth edition of the Friendship Bracelet Friendship Club, curated by Brazilian label Perdizes Dream.

PD's Claudio got the name from the west-side neighborhood in São Paulo where he resides, Perdizes ("it's a little bit like Brooklyn in NYC"). The label has brought us two releases from Brazilian artists thus far, Babe, Terror's Weekend and the self-titled Buon Griorno Luamada album, with more to come very soon from those two acts. This mix is full of continents-spanning psych, all fantastic. In their own words:

"In a changing-dial (more than mixtape) way, I tried to show the synthesis and spirit of a very particular Brazilian "barroquedelia," developed by the Clube da Esquina "scene" of the state of Minas Gerais (Minas is something like the Brazilian mix of Wyoming and Pennsylvania) in the 70's, and detect links between those sounds and other stuff. Like "classic" (which is in fact very modern in my view) collective/psychedelic rock made, mostly, in Scandinavia nowadays, Guilherme Arantes (who's a genius, our perfect mix of Todd Rundgren, Tony Banks, Billy Joel and Cole Porter, the greatest composer of Brazilian "X" and untold history -- he was born/ raised in São Paulo, near Perdizes), Italian prog, etc."
