You can now read a glowing review and check out Seu Jorge and Almaz in its entirety via NPR before the album is released next Tuesday. An excerpt from NPR’s review:

“Seu Jorge and Almaz mostly consists of cover songs, which in any other artist’s hands could be a recipe for disaster or mediocrity — but, boy, can Seu Jorge pull off a good cover song. He manages the perfect balance between adding his own distinct style and keeping the essence of the original. The results are portraits of complex emotions, such as his take on Kraftwerk’s “The Model.” With Jorge’s raw vocals and an Old West guitar that feels like a distant memory, the song becomes a strange cocktail of lust and sadness — not an uncommon feeling, but not commonly discussed in rock ‘n’ roll, either.”

Seu Jorge and Almaz is out next Tuesday, their North American tour starts this Friday in Miami, and this Sunday here in LA we’re going to be serving up feijoada, mixing caipirinhas from scratch and listening to the album over at Palate Food + Wine. Come on through – CDs and LPs will be available for sale on a first come, first serve basis.

The Seu Jorge and Almaz 2010 North American tour kicks off in less than two weeks – and we’ll be announcing the exclusive merch items you’ll be able to pick up along the way.

First up – a short run of tour posters designed by Mike Davis and hand-silkscreened by Burlesque. These posters will be available in small quantities on each tour stop and in our store for $20. You might have caught Burlesque’s work for Stones Throw’s Dam Funk – if not, check some of the process here:

You’ve probably downloaded our tease of the vocal version of “Everybody Loves The Sunshine,” or signed up for the mailing list at the Seu Jorge and Almaz site to get the vocal version of “Cirandar.”

But if you have to have the instrumentals (and who doesn’t want those?), and you haven’t picked it up on Rappcats webstore, Seu Jorge and Almaz’s single “Everybody Loves The Sunshine/Cirandar” – with instrumentals – is now available on Itunes. For all of y’all with a $3.96 burning a hole in your pocket.

Buy.
