Catalog Number: GBLP156 Color: Black Format: LP UPC: 4030433615614 "Experimenting with the fusion of the traditional and the contemporary (Ana Lua Caiano's) sonic palette nods melodically to her country's history but is resolutely forward thinking - She creates music that's disconcertingly confrontational and sonically expansive" -- The Line of Best Fit . Ana Lua Caiano's debut album melds rural Portuguese music traditions with layered vocals, synthesizers, insistent beats and field recordings. Her music is visceral and tightly focused pulling from a rich mosaic of influences that includes traditional group singing, musique concrete , songwriters from Portugal's 70's revolutionary period and electronic icons like Bjork and Laurie Anderson. Hailing from Lisbon's fertile musical underground, Caiano's music - and its international reception - are moving forward quickly. Her lauded recent performances at Eurosonic and Transmusicales (where she recorded a KEXP session) certainly attest to that, as do the laser sharp emotions and highly individual sonics of her much anticipated first album: Vou Ficar Neste Quadrado (I Shall Stay in This Square).
