Album Notes & Community Reviews

The major-label debut and ultimate swansong from the all-female S茫o Paulo quartet stands as a vibrant, incredibly tense post-punk manifesto. Characterized by angular guitars, driving dance-punk basslines, and fiercely political lyricism, the album brilliantly dissects the socio-economic turmoil of late-eighties Brazil. The record's complex, urban energy deeply impacted the Latin American alternative rock underground.
