Mormaco Queima is the electrifying debut album from Ana Frango Electrico and marks the point where their genre-distorting journey began in the humble tenements of Rio de Janeiro. First out digitally in 2018, it radiates raw charm, fusing MPB, Tropicalia, and indie with a punk sass and lo-fi swagger. Oxbowing playfully between structure and chaos, opener 'Farelos' teeters on the edge of form through trombone and percussion, while 'No Bico Do Mamilo' shifts restlessly in tempo, barely preparing us for twin tunes 'Roxo' and 'Picles', which swing like macaques from punk bursts to psychedelic grooves. Again reissued globally by Mr Bongo, Quiema's vital first contribution to the next genesis of Brazilian avant-garde music was and still is a sound to behold.
