Telepathique
Dri

Brazil gave us bossa nova, Tropicália, and baile funk, and there's a lot more where those came from-- as compilation after compilation after compilation continues to show. São Paulo's Télépathique have already toured in Europe, and now the duo are poised to bring their groove-based blend of electro-pop, rock, house, and baile funk to the U.S. with their new Love & Lust EP, on the way via Control Group. The best place to start isn't the English-language title track, though, but rather "Eu Gosto", which a cursory Internet search would suggest means "I like it." If not for the fact it's in Portuguese, a language I definitely don't speak, it'd be difficult to determine the origins of this solid uptempo dance-pop track. Opening with a robotic kick drum, a winding synth sound, and haunted-house creaks, the song soon adds post-punk guitar stabs and the matter-of-fact vocals of Mylene, who along with drummer, turntablist, and programmer Erico Theobaldo makes up Télépathique. Her words echo on both sides as live and electronic drums rise in intensity. The beats drop out during a clanging, alarm-like bridge. When Mylene's vocals return, they're even harder to understand. - pitchforkmedia.com
