Dedicated to one of their primary influences, Antonio Carlos Jobim, the Washington D.C. duo's debut album is a seminal release in the late-90s lounge and chillout movements. By elegantly fusing Jamaican dub aesthetics, bossa nova rhythms, and trip-hop programming, the record established a sophisticated, globally minded blueprint for modern downtempo.
