I do harbor a proud reputation of being stuck in the past, in fact hardly venturing past 1984, for good reason.However, every now and again I hear a modern recording that doesn't bore the living shit out of me! One of these very recordings is this limited edition C-40 from the Brazilian cassette label, Meia-Vida. A solo project by Aline Vieira, it has echo's of the good side of Lydia' lunch's "Queen of Siam" LP, and in equal measures, the more minimal scratchy elements of NY No Wave. It doesn't hinder none that the perpetrator is the very opposite to an ugly flower to complete the equation.Brains and Beauty is a rare combination,and here's evidence that it exists.
In my humble opinion, the best Record of 2015.

i have this one. also one of my favorite tapes of last year. it's stil on repeat here in my happy house
Thank you! The first track is incredible.
I gotta admit, you are really funny.
Funny Ha Ha,or Funny peculiar?
Well both of course, but in this case I meant "Ha Ha." Your take on things is half the fun!
Went over to bandcamp and got this one. Thanks for the tip.
Thanks – didn't know this one.
You wouldn't by any chance happen to have Divergência Socialista's "Christine Keeler" tape from 1986? It's on Vimeo (https://vimeo.com/136271601 + https://vimeo.com/137247007), but apparently nowhere else.
I ended up purchasing the entire label discography thanks to your link. (and this great site, exposing us to all sorts of interesting releases!)
Money well spent Mr P.
