Music reviews of Talk to La Bomb

Music Review: Sexy, Elegant and Smart
Rating: 5 Stars

Received TTLB as an early Christmas gift and absolutely love it. Since I'm rather judgmental of a band/artist by the cover art of an album, I really didn't expect much to come from this particular album. But, fortunately, the effect TTLB had on me was a strong one. From the first listen, I'm hooked, and I have to laugh, considering I was originally going to exchange the CD for something else before listening to it. Thank god for online samples & downloads, for I took the time to listen before opening the CD.

TTLB incorporates Reggae, Electronica, Jazz, Bossa nova, Groove, you name it. Mainly English, TTLB is laced together brilliantly with five additional languages (Italian, Spanish, German and French). Ironically, despite the band name, no one in the band is Brazilian. BG are:
Sabina Sciubba (vox)
Didi Gutman (keyboards backing vox, computers)
Jesse Murphy (bass & backing vox)
Aaron Johnston (drums & backing vox)

Bouncy, freeform and playful, BG's "TTLB" offers a wide range of styles for the avid music collector, which for me is the best aspect of the discovery of a little-known or underrated band. Bands/Artists that come to mind are: Catherine Deneuve (duet with Bjork on the Selmasongs soundtrack), Nena (99 Luftballoons), Régine Chassagne (The Arcade Fire). As for the band, some of their songs sound like music produced by Supreme Beings of Leisure or Groove Closet. Although I've no preferences track-wise, I really do love track 3 and have it on repeat in my discman. Sound quality is rich & clear, whether you're using headphones or playing it on the entertainment system. Overall balance (track sequence) is perfect, therefore creating the perfect listening experience. For me, TTLB is ear candy because I love songs with a groovy beat and lots of rhythm and vocal presentation.

The 8-page (2-sided) booklet is fun, funky and groovy, featuring band photos & credits (including additional info & website info) on the interior. Flip the booklet over and you find hand-drawn artwork. The disc features a white/grey background with little bombs either waiting to or detonating. Titling is in Yellow on bottom half of disc. Traycard features a b/w drawing of bombs waiting to detonate as well. The artwork concept is whimsical in a shocking way. TTLB is an excellent album for someone with an ever-growing, eclectic music collection and an appreciation of craftily-produced tunes. Brazilian Girls are just what our present music industry needs (to kick the mainstream music industry in the butt). It's true, Sabina is no pop princess and her voice is smooth, smoky and amusing at times. Playful bands such as BG deserve lots of airplay and publicity. Unfortunately, I haven't seen/heard them on the TV or Radio.

Description of Talk to La Bomb

Japanese pressing of this oddly-named American outfit's 2006 album features one bonus track: 'Crosseyed And Painless'. Brazilian Girls seduce the listener into new territories with their signature beautiful melodies and infectious grooves. Their sophomore effort, Talk To La Bomb is all about rocking the crowds and making them dance. La Bomb is a clear evolution of the Brazilian Girls' melting pop sound. They add new textures and twists to the seductive, catchy, humorous, mysterious, danceable and multi-lingual sounds that marked their self-titled debut album. Universal.
It's not a bright and sunny day in the land of Brazilian Girls anymore. That's the message one might take from "Jique," the opening track of this, their second album. In concert, they've performed "Jique" more playfully, but on Talk to La Bomb, a snarling bass-line and juggernaut drum riff drive this piece of post-industrial squall as singer Sabina Sciubba maintains her sophisticated cool against the electronic storm surge. There are no more cute songs with choruses that go "Pussy pussy pussy marijuana" like those that appeared on their first blast of joyful noise. This is a darker album full of Babel language, post-war rage, and techno-hysteria. "I always have an orgasm when the tanks are rolling, crashing through the borders," Sciubba declares on "Never Met a German." Brazilian Girls maintain the same kinetic thrust and hook-laden melodies as before, but they've turned up the rhythmic aggression and electronic squelch to 11. Attitudes that were bemused in "Lazy Lover" are now pissed off in "Sexy Asshole." Even when they start off sultry, like in "Rules of the Game," it turns into sardonic, synth-fuzzed anger. There is a stridency to some of the tracks, including the title piece, which starts out echoing Miles Davis's "Bitches Brew" before launching into a militaristic rhythm and sloganeering chorus. Only "Nicotine" has that seductive, late-night rendezvous mood of their first album, and even that has a bit of the Residents' zombie groove happening. On Talk to La Bomb, Brazilian Girls move from seducers to provocateurs. --John Diliberto
