Trembling Eyelids [LP]

Vinyl LP pressing. Aldo is comprised of Andre and Mura Faria, two brothers from Sao Paulo, Brazil, who formed a band in homage to their Uncle Aldo. A once wayward character, Uncle Aldo lived an edgy lifestyle in 1990's Brazil. He would take the young boys on journeys into Sao Paulo's dark underbelly introducing them to scenes of illegal car racing, suspicious back-alley negotiations, football gang violence and carnival parties, all drenched in alcohol. The wide-eyed brothers took it all in, and later, combined these youthful experiences with beats Mura had begun to work on, whilst Andre picked up the bass. The brothers added new musicians to their live band and began gigging regularly on the Sao Paulo music circuit, quickly growing a following and garnering attention from the Brazilian media. Aldo have now become a staple of the Brazilian live scene, supporting acts such as Caribou and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and last year opening for Radiohead at the Allianz Park Stadium. After a stint writing and recording in an isolated village in the mountains outside of Sao Paulo, Andre and Mura produced Trembling Eyelids, a 4 track EP infused with the colorful and chaotic nature of Sao Paulo, with darker undertones of the young Aldo, lingering at the edges.
