Thiago Nassif – Mente LP

Thiago Nassif is a Brazilian musician, composer and producer based in Rio de Janeiro, whose impactful mlange of pop, jarring no-wave, and edgy Tropiclia has slowly been turning heads the world over.

Gearbox Records presents his latest album “Mente”, co-produced by no wave icon Arto Lindsay, and representative, via its diverse list of accredited musicians, of the progressive, new-generational music scene that is bubbling away in Rio.

The albums title is a Portuguese homonym meaning mind and to lie, and represents Thiagos attitude towards what he calls the post-truth state of Brazils political regime. Mixing together the languages of Portuguese and English, Thiago goes deep into no-wave, experimental electronic music, Tropicalismo, jazz and rock, moving between funk carioca to dystopian, distorted bossa nova, and beyond.
