Everything they see is upside down. How else do you
explain Bonde do Rolê? They turn Brazilian folk songs into dance tracks, and
they make rockabilly replays into haunting taunts. In 2007, when their debut
album With Lasers was released and Diplo and Pitchfork and
the Fader and everyone else talked about how wild and weird and wonderful
they were, it seemed like a stunt. In 2012, with their second album Tropicalbacanal about
to be released, they're even more wild, more weird, and more wonderful. Not
many people know what Bonde are singing about, but everyone keeps singing
along; they're the third world Black Eyed Peas. Tropicalbacanal -
produced by Diplo and Filip Nikolic of Poolside and featuring guest turns
from Caetano Veloso, Das Racist, Cecile, Rizzle Kicks, and the Death Set -
ushers in the fresh wave of avalanche tropical (the bossa nova of modern
Brazil) and is all over the place; they wouldn't have it any other way.
Get primed with the "Kilo" single on May 22nd
then Tropicalbacanal comes out June 26th via Mad Decent.
Right now you can watch the incredible Diplo-starring music video for
"Kilo".
