Today's Music of the Day is Brazilian Girls' Talk to La Bomb. This album isn't really my style but I kind of like it anyway. I don't know anything about Brazilian Girls, but based on their sound, I would very much consider BG to be peers to Ladytron or maybe Pretty Girls Make Graves. This is a mostly electronic album, sometimes sinister, sometimes danceable, almost always sleazy. The vocals are almost exclusively female, not great in the same way that Neko Case or Fiona Apple are, but they fit with the music pretty well.
I know today's review is pretty brief, but there really isn't a ton of depth to this music. It's a nice change of pace, but not really what I'm into. It has a nice feel to it, but it's not really driving enough for exercise, not really crazy enough to dance to. It might be okay for a cocktail party where everyone is having a fairly mellow evening and not going to cause more trouble late at night. I think I like it better than St. Etienne's album that I listened to recently, but not significantly more so. I guess if I was at your place and you put this album on, I wouldn't make fun of you, but I also wouldn't ask if I could borrow it.
