Tracklisting

Information

This is the new album by tropical punk funk duo Tetine, comprised of Brazilian-born artists Bruno Verner and Eliete Mejorado. The pair met in 1995 in Brazil while taking part in the local underground art punk scene of Sao Paulo. Since then they have created a multitude of sound works from tropical punk, baile funk to electronica, spoken word & music incursions for plays, soundtracks, performances, art films and installations.

The album is a follow up to the critically acclaimed UK debut "Let Your X's Be Y's" and the 12" single "I Go To The Doctor" both released on Soul Jazz Records in early 2008.

From A Forest Near You is a luminous DIY collection of tropical punk funk / new wave & melancholic electro pop fused with minimal dark sambas and leftfield percussive drum machine-pop - featuring 14 tracks heavy on electronic and organic elements - forming a set of highly personal electronic/post punk pieces with a very distinctive melodic and harmonic sense.
