Caetano Veloso - Transa - VINYL LP

This 1968 self-titled masterpiece by Caetano Veloso is a foundational pillar of Brazil's subversive Tropicalia movement, brilliantly fusing traditional bossa nova rhythms with psychedelic rock.

After touring on the back of their twisted non-retrospective InchPunk RockInch in 2004, The Mekons picked up their instruments and lost themselves far beyond the beaten path in the wilds of the English countryside. Removed from the restraints of conventional studio technology, they navigate an undulating sonic landscape of lavish melodies, mantric chants, and shimmering acoustic experimentation. This is their first new material in five years since 2002's critically acclaimed InchOOOH!Inch Look for them on tour this fall.
