São Paulo underground been blowin’ UP in Brazil, y’all! And here comes swingin’ dick, Guilherme Granado, brassing and wood-winding the FUCK OUT. Unbelievably so, this was sent to me at random too from the Propósito Records owner, who I assume is both STOKED to pop Glaciers of Nice Vol 1 and NOT from Bagla, India (as the bio says).
In layers, Glaciers of Nice Vol 1 by Guilherme Granado covers ground that hasn’t been heard prominently in America since labels like Fuck It Tapes shut down, or Night People and Time-Lag and DNT and Fusetron began slowing production. There’s electronics being boggled, instruments getting fuck-fiddled, and minds ripping themselves out, being scrubbed with LSD, crammed and stapled back in, and [rinse and repeat]. Yet, it’s VERY safe to mention that Guilherme Granado appears to have taken a great amount of thought, time, and consideration in the studio, during practice, and by the computer with Glaciers of Nice Vol 1, which is almost rare now in the U.S.
Guilherme Granado has performed with Pharoah Sanders, Roscoe Mitchell (Art Ensemble of Chicago), Bill Dixon, Paulo Santos (Uakti), Naná Vasconcelos, Dan Bitney (Tortoise), Mike Ladd, High Priest (Anti-Pop Consortium), y Marcelo Camelo (Los Hermanos). He’s also been involved with Norópolis, so the man got a few miles on his resume!
Scope Guilherme Granado;’s first release Glaciers of Nice Vol 1 on Propósito Records immediately below, and get whisked back to them golden ought years of composed freak-out tunes:
