Estatica [LP]

Marcos Valle - Estatica [LP]

By popular demand, Far Out present Estatica -- remastered edition of the classic 2010 album from the original Rio beach boy Marcos Valle. Evoking his Carioca sound -- where expansive orchestral sweep meets beautiful melody and complex harmony -- Valle mixes perfect romantic bossa-pop with cinematic brass and strings. This recording explores a six-decade career that has swung between pop, bossa nova, delicate psychedelia, jazz, and funk. Responsible for bossa classic "Summer Samba (So Nice)" Valle has collaborated with Leon Ware, Sarah Vaughan, and Chicago; seen his track "Ele E Ela" sampled by Jay Z for Blueprint 3; and his songs recorded by the likes of Frank Sinatra and Bebel Gilberto. Many of these tracks sound strangely familiar, as if you've always known them, fresher and more immediate than ever in Valle's modern renaissance on Far Out Recordings. This album -- Valle's fourth original recording for Far Out -- features standout compositions including the instant classic "Vamos Sambar," the infectious jazz of "Baião Maracatú," and the stunning duets and brass of "Papo De Maluco." Valle's cinematic orchestral "Novo Acorde" and the rich psych incidentals show that Valle is as creatively inspired -- by Rio, music, and a lifetime of travel touring the globe -- as he ever was as the original Ipanema beach poet. Produced by Daniel Maunick (son of Bluey, Incognito); recorded, mixed, and co- produced by David Brinkworth (Harmonic 33); and with Marcos' unparalleled arrangements, aided by horn and string arrangements by Jesse Sedoc Vocals, Valle is brought back with a widescreen bang. A modern classic that's been long out of print, Marcos Valle is reissuing Estatica. Originally released in 2010, Estatica saw Marcos effortlessly dive back into the sound of his golden era while upholding his long-standing openness to modern production techniques. A1.
