Adrian Younge Presents: Something About April III

Description

This highly anticipated album is the epitome of analog transcendence, a sonic world fueled by a 30-piece orchestra, analog synthesizers, breakbeats, and Brazilian vocalists singing psychedelic melodies in Portuguese. With *Something About April III (SAA III)*, Adrian Younge carries the musical series forward with unyielding conviction, surpassing its predecessors as an essential piece of today's vinyl culture. The Emmy Award-winning composer, multi-instrumentalist, and orchestrator has been compared to the best works of Ennio Morricone as well as The Beatles' relentless quest for sonic innovation. The *Something About April* collection has stood the test of time for vinyl enthusiasts and contemporary producers alike, being sampled by DJ Premier, Jay-Z, Common, 50 Cent, and many others. As the preceding albums synthesize the boundaries between American and European cinematic soul, the third installment does likewise but with an audacious twist—Brazilian psychedelica! Inspired by great Brazilian records of the 60s and 70s, Adrian Younge recorded a choir of Brazilian vocalists, hand-picked by Grammy Award-winning Brazilian composer Céu, who is also featured on the album.
