Taken from the album 'MNTH'
due 30th April 2021 - Cassette/Digital 
Mais Um (MAIS046)

Featuring M.Takara (Pharoah Sanders, Damo Suzuki), Fernando Sanches (Rob Mazurek, BaianaSystem),Produced by Psilosamples

Crunched guitars, Afro-Brazilian percussion and spiralling improvisation collide on the self-titled album from São Paolo-based producer/creator MNTH, forthcoming on cassette and streaming platforms this April on Mais Um. 

Featuring shapeshifting composer/drummer M.Takara (Pharoah Sanders, Damo Suzuki, Bokeh Versions), Grammy-nominated engineer, Fernando Sanches and co-produced by Psilosamples (featured on Mais Um’s Daora and Rolê compilations), MNTH, real name Luciano Valério, presents a chasmic 30-min round trip of São Paolo’s deviating and restless musical underground. 

“I put more of myself on this record. I wanted it to sound like something new” - Luciano Valério, MNTH 

Funnelling early Four Tet-style synth design, Rhythm & Sound grainy pulsations and Afro-Caribbean polyrhythms, Valério’s latest full-length MNTH is algorithmic as it is expressive. A digital/human binary one Bandcamp fan described best as “what machines would sound like if they evolved in forests.” 

The skeletal Malian pop-facing, Kalimba-led opener and the fuzzy atmospheric dub crunch of Tamanduateí and Habitante attest to the breadth of sonic intersections that Valério reveals and conceals in brief explosive bursts on MNTH. Valério’s time spent in São Paolo’s 90s punk and hardcore circles infiltrates third track Trapaceiro, whilst his fascination for cyclical, loop-based sounds is laid bare on tracks like Sábio Sapo or the techno-infused meets cumbia bounce of Afoshot.

“Hardcore/punk bands like Fugazi and Lungfish had a huge influence on me. They have this hypnotic, trance-like quality to their music. Techno takes me to the same place. I feel on MNTH there are lots of different elements to the record but it all comes back to this feeling of a cycle. It’s rhythmic. We go one way, and then we come back. I really like that feeling.” 

As co-founder of influential label, Desmonta, MNTH, (pronounced Mantega - Portuguese for ‘butter’), has been a pivotal figure in Brazil’s underground scene for the best part of two decades. Initially set up to release Takara’s 2007 album Conta, Desmonta and Valério went on to sign soon seminal albums by deconstructive Candomblê-punk trio, Metá Metá and provide a regular home for Takara’s frequent and varied output over the years, as well as his own, including Valério’s debut project, a split cassette release with Tildaflipers back in 2015 and his work with guitarist Marco Nalesso as Nalesca Mantega. 

Born and raised in Cecap, a neighbourhood 30 minutes north-east of central São Paolo, located within the region of Guaralhos, Valério grew up across the road from apocalyptic samba guitar ogã Kiko Dinucci, whose dynamic first and third LPs were released by Valério on Desmonta. ” Both of us were into skateboarding, metal and then punk. Kiko was the guy that put a guitar in my hand. He taught me. Then said “come play 2nd guitar in my band.” 

Having recorded the majority of tracks back in 2014-15, Valério shelved the album, only deciding to re-visit the recordings during the pandemic. For this edition Mais Um present three additional bonus tracks, including two previously unreleased remixes by Psilosamples and Desmonta label artist, Dandrea.

ϙue about *Clairvoyance* EP ^

"Mountain cries for her children, elegy. 
Bitter, snow-covered solitude. 
The Quest Of Life is to rule upon the Matter. 
Now, when the answer is finally mine, 
I don't need it anymore.

Drown in acoustic innerscapes, 
I realise myself in the dawn of times. 
Salt waters, 
Metaborn.

I do not feel anxious.

You and I in a dance of hertzes, 
Structured pace. 
Have we been here before?

Star Alliance, mission in unity.

The Earth is expanding, so is alive. 
She is whole, conscious, and panpsychistic. 
And I don't need anything anymore."

ϙue – Clouds Born From Tethys

[TIFMIX01] This mix is focused on music released in Italy - mostly during the 80s, a crazy decade for Italian music. On one hand it has been the only decade when Italian artists has made international dance hits (Den Harrow - Future Brain is the first example coming up to my mind atm), on the other hand a lot of under the radar indie labels released an enormous amount of great experimental / ambient stuff, mostly on cassette but sometimes on vinyl too. Many of these recordings has seen the light for a second time as they’ve been reissued in the last few years, but most of them are still waiting to be brought to a bigger audience. File under: Ambient, left-wing fanzines experiments, mail art, sound poetry, library-notreally-library, spoken word, Italian indie pressings.

Recorded live by Gabriele Casiraghi (@ggaabbrriieellee) in Milan, 2020.
Artwork by Emanuela Dassisti.
