Step into the vibrant sonic world of Oruã's "Slacker," where the beating heart of Rio de Janeiro pulsates through your speakers. A cocktail of lo-fi indie rock and kaleidoscopic psychedelia, this album is a testament to Brazil’s eclectic music tapestry and Lê Almeida's dynamic leadership.



Lauded for his magnetic guitar work, Almeida, alongside João Casaes, Bigu Medine, and Ana Zumpano, paints with a vast auditory brush. Together, they achieve a colorful collision of sounds, blending afrobeat with echoes of Luiz Gonzaga's Pernambuco roots and Brazilian psych rock. It's a testament to their past collaborations, including a notable stint with indie rock luminaries Built to Spill, where they co-crafted the eclectic "When the Wind Forgets Your Name" now immortalized in the indie folklore.



Birthed after tours that spanned continents, from the sweaty dives of São Paulo to the cavernous clubs of Seattle, "Slacker" was shaped under the experienced hands of Jim Roth. His contribution is tangible, infusing layers of guitar and synth into tracks that throb with a primal energy. Oruã's sound evolves rhythmically, marrying deconstructed guitar strains with hypnotic grooves designed to enchant listeners into a collective trance.



Encased in classic black vinyl, this singular piece is more than music; it's a cultural export, crafting a bridge that spans oceans and genres. For collectors and new fans alike, "Slacker" offers a tangible slice of Oruã's inventive spirit - a vital addition to any cutting-edge vinyl collection.
