Cibelle produced this album over a period of 18 months, taking some of the
tracks with her from London (where she now resides) to São Paulo (her home
town) and back, gathering along the way contributions from various
co-producers and performers including Mike Lindsay (from UK folktronica act
Tunng), Apollo Nove (the innovative producer/artist from São Paulo,
Parisian mixer Yann Arnaud (Air), and guests such as Seu Jorge, Devendra
Banhart, and CocoRosie collaborator Spleen.
While some of the album's ten original compositions (written by Cibelle in
partnership with her various collaborators) and three covers are simple,
limpid crystalline gems (such as her own "Train Station", her renditions of
Tom Waits' "Green Grass" and of Jobim's "Por toda minha vida"), others are
genuine pop mini-symphonies bursting with ideas, with musical and lyrical
story lines which take you from A to Z without ever looking back. Finally,
there's "London, London" (sung in duet with Devendra Banhart), a song
written by the Brazilian legend Caetano Veloso while he was living in exile
in London during the early 1970s, which strangely echoes Cibelle's own
(voluntary) move to the UK some 30 years later.
Keep an eye out for a limited edition 7" vinyl of the Tom Waits cover
"Green Grass" and an exclusive b-side remix by The Ghost of Infantjoy,
which is being released to coincide with the 'The Shine Of Dried Electric
Leaves' coming out in the UK.
