tommywommy i still think about this album like once a month. it actually introduced me to bossa nova but this puts a perfect spin on it Favorite track: Réu Confesso.

☭👁️⃤(𓁹👄𓂀)e̷̋ This is a genre mixing I've wanted for so so long, and I couldn't be less surprised or more happy that Dan is the person who did it. Such an absolute blast to listen to.

the_zest_child Oof I love the mellow heavier cover especially compared to the original upbeat version. I love the covers! Favorite track: Até Quem Sabe.

Omar Delgado The "broken" Portuguese adds a sweet charm to Boa Tarde. : )

The rest of the album is just pure fun. Glad to hear JAKB back in action. Favorite track: Boa Tarde.

daviddomanski I don't speak Portuguese but love this whole album, Cigarro De Paia just makes me want to dance. Favorite track: Cigarro De Paia.

I Can't Handle Change

Wonderful, smart, well crafted, eclectic pop. Love this EP. I feel a kinship of musical taste... The J. Arthur Keenes Band

Little Metal Baby Fist
by The Dirty Nil

Great punky, 90s-ish, garage-y rock'n'roll. Way better than The Black Keys. Not that that's especially relevant as a comparison, I'm just saying. The J. Arthur Keenes Band
