A Latin Grammy nominated 2019 masterpiece, issued for the frst time

outside of Brazil and Japan.

Ana Frango Eletrico's petit cult classic masterpiece 'Little Electric Chicken Heart'

from 2019, which was only ever released on vinyl and CD in Brazil and Japan, has

fast become a collector's item.

Well received by fans, DJs, and reviewers on release, the album's reputation has

been slowly building ever since, gaining a Latin Grammy nomination in 2020, and

now solidly cementing itself as a gem of contemporary Brazilian music.

Across the albums nine tracks, Ana blends elements and influences from MPB,

Tropicalia, indie rock, punk and pop , forging them together with a sumptuous

dose of their signature style. The finesse of 'Saudade' kicks off the LP, one of

Ana's most known tracks to a non- Brazilian audience. A sublime opener,

beginning with a spellbinding piano solo before transcending into a beautiful

dream-laden slice of warmth, complete with luscious jazzy horns and deft vocal

delivery. 'Promessa e previsoes' follows, the only track on the album not to be

written by Ana, instead being penned by Chico Franca . It's a swelling and

sweeping twilight groover, building and breaking across absorbing peaks.

Other highlights on the album include the anthemic 'Chocolate', which was a frm

favourite with a packed sing- along crowd when we heard Ana perform it live.

Elsewhere, 'Se No Cinema' hits with its quirky allure, charm and catchy melodies

before transforming into a carnival spirit.

Tapping into the richness of Brazil's new wave of musical energy, the album also

includes a heavyweight lineup of collaborations with artists such as Dora

Morelenbaum (Bala Desejo), Tim Bernardes, Antonio Neves and Guilherme Lirio

to name but a few.

A short, sweet and refreshing record, that leaves nothing to waste, marrying

playful ideas with poignant themes. 'Little Electric Chicken Heart' is a future

classic and will beguile fans of '70s Brazilian recordings, Gal Costa, Mac

DeMarco, Stereolab, Superorganism, Caetano Veloso and more.
