Turmallina - Aurora (2022)

Turmallina come from Brazil and have just released their debut album called Aurora. It is filled with catchy tunes wrapped in ethereal blanket of subtle noise and distortions. It is the kind of music that should be danced to, even if it's not necessarily happy.

As so many artists do nowadays, Turmallina's inspirations come from the urge to provide some escapism means and lose the burden of feelings, as they say: "in times as distressing and new as this period of pandemics, Aurora comes with a strong sense of identification, nostalgia and, above all, an exit to another time, to a dream". Their idea to achieve that was to create melodic and carefree-sounding indie pop with dreamy vibes all over. The album was made far from professional studios and it is audible, but, as often, the lo-fi atmosphere only makes this burst of feeling more honest and genuine. And the further one goes through the album, the louder, more nugaze it gets, with Escadas and Nádia sounding like the Brazilian response to The Pains of Being Pure at Heart.

Aurora costs whatever you want to pay.
