Regular price £25.00 Save £-25.00Product Description
-
A
travelogue
that
unites
physical
and
inner
space,
a
series
of
trance
states
rendered
in
vivid
colour,
a
delirious
portal
into
the
ether.
Marlene
Ribeiro’s
debut
for
Rocket
Recordings
and
first
album
under
her
own
name
is
all
of
this
and
much
more.
Toquei
No
Sol
is
a
fresh
new
chapter
for
this
unique
artist,
by
far
the
most
melodic
and
transcendent
outing
yet
for
her
hypnotic
dreampop
This
is
only
the
latest
release
in
a
long
history
of
sonic
experimentation
for
Marlene,
which
includes
her
previous
work
as
Negra
Branca
and
as
a
member
of
GNOD,
not
to
mention
collaborations
with
Valentina
Magaletti
and
Thurston
Moore.
Toquei
No
Sol
is
also
a
record
with
a
very
distinctive
and
potent
sense
of
place,
paradoxically
despite
having
been
woven
together
from
recordings
made
in
Ireland,
Wales,
Portugal,
Madeira
and
Salford.
Marlene’s
fleet-footed
approach
to
melody
rings
through
even
as
the
tracks
conjure
visions
of
heathazes,
meditative
spaces
and
late-night
epiphanies.
Although
listeners
may
hear
echoes
of
the
loop-driven
psychedelia
of
Panda
Bear’s
Person
Pitch
or
the
incantatory
ululations
of
Pocahaunted
in
these
beguiling
soundscapes
and
magick-strewn
mantras,
the
truth
is
that
the
aesthetic
here
is
very
much
Marlene’s
alone.
“It’s
all
a
big
misty
haze
of
nostalgia,
playfulness,
self-reflection
nd
hopefulness”
is
what
Marlene
reckons
herself.
Yet
Toquei
No
Sol
is
also
a
transporting
vision
from
an
artist
both
returning
to
her
roots
and
looking
out
to
new
celestial
horizons.
