What’s up Sorry State readers, I hope everyone has been enjoying the end of summer. I also hope if you’re reading this that you were able to catch one of the shows from the Scarecrow / Vidro tour that just wrapped up. I caught the one here in Raleigh and it was a killer show as always and it was awesome to get to see Vidro live. They were amazing. Anyway, this week I’m writing about a record that I immediately fell in love with, which is always a great feeling, the 1986 Demo from the Brazilian post punk band Ida & Os Voltas. When Dom and I first opened up the package that had these in there he pulled it out and was like “Man they really nailed the ‘80s aesthetic with this cover” till we turned it around and realized this band actually was from the ‘80s. As far as I know, these are the only studio recordings from this band, but they sound amazing. I was instantly hooked from the first listen and clocking in at just around 15 minutes, this mini-LP is one you just wanna run back as soon as it’s over. My favorite track on here is Samambaias Voadora; it just sounds so fucking cool. The guitar has this like surfy sound to it and the riffs are just so catchy and get stuck in your head. I’ve been listening to this nonstop since discovering it when we got copies in the store and I still haven’t gotten tired of it. I can’t recommend this album any more, definitely a great addition to any collection.
