I know Justriiingo would appreciate A LOOOOT this thread if she was here, so if someone know how to contact her please let her know what I'm doing here!
Maybe Linnéa (from the now dead shiinaringo.se) would also appreciate O.o
I've actually been trying to get into Brazilian music & bossa nova a lot more these days! Now I finally have someone to get recommendations from! I know I'm not justriiingo or Linnéa but hopefully I'll do!

The two of them manage to unite the best characteristics of their music in only one project, it's a shame they've only released one album so far.

I REALLY dig this one. She has a gorgeous voice (reminds me a little of someone like Astrud Gilberto or Emma Pollock) and I love the surf rock style guitar. I could definitely see this being in one of my chillout playlists. I just really love the vibe of this. Thank you for sharing!

I like this guy's voice. It's got a very gritty quality to it while still sounding nice. Minimalist guitar and a nice drumbeat all the way through. I especially like the solo around 3 minutes in. What is the song about?

What a hauntingly beautiful song. The ethereal background music definitely reminds me of dream pop music like The Radio Dept but the singer is SO GOOD. He voice has this air-like quality to it. It just seems to float. The video is beautiful as well. It reminds me of snapshots from someone's memory. Maybe a lover of his who he remembers or had left/died long ago. At least that's the vibe I get. It feels bittersweet.
