mysticwolf75 Easily my favorite TC album! I've been playing this CD evenings in Summer out on the porch since it's release back in 2014. Stunningly beautiful. Finally decided to add it to my Bandcamp collection. Favorite track: Firelight ft. LouLou Ghelichkhani.

Harley The smoky melancholy that is the voice of LouLou Ghelichkhani echos within my mind and plucks at the strings of my sensibilities. Favorite track: Décollage ft. LouLou Ghelichkhani.

yehezkielf Not easy to pick only one favourite. An absolutely beautiful album with a beautiful title. Favorite track: Claridad ft. Natalia Clavier.

booyaka808 I've been a fan of TC for a long time, and I slept on this album when it first came out. I can now appreciate it, and it scratches my itch for "new" material until Symphonik is released. :) Favorite track: Claridad ft. Natalia Clavier.

Nrrradius Absolutely beautiful music. Favorite track: Nos Dois ft. Karina Zeviani.

Stanislav Shcherbakov Wow I had no idea what the title meant, but this is exactly the feeling this album inspires. Beautiful and nostalgia inducing.

about

There’s no English analog for the Portuguese word saudade, which translates roughly to a melancholic longing for someone or something from the past. The term so aptly fits Thievery Corporation’s oeuvre (always wistful and dreamy) that it’s a wonder this is the first time the D.C. duo have employed it as an album title. Looking to the sounds of Brazil–bossa nova, samba, tropicalia–for their seventh long-player, longtime musical partners Rob Garza and Eric Hilton deliver a set that evokes shimmering seascapes and poolside cocktails. It’s the kind of album James Bond would put on for a romantic evening in Rio.

Saudade‘s expressive acoustic guitars and placid string arrangements meld sweetly with delicate synths and gentle percussion, as a rotating cast of five female vocalists coo sensuous melodies. While many of these songs (“Quem Me Leva,” the title track) are bold adventurers into new sonic territory, others, such as “Depth of My Soul” and “Firelight,” are vintage Thievery Corporation with a Brazilian twist: deeply groovy and endlessly mesmerizing.

Infinite Everywhere

“Infinite Everywhere” is the ne plus ultra of elegant groove, which Eric has been distilling for over two decades. It kicks, and it sounds amazing. You need to hear this record. Thievery Corporation

This album has been on repeat and shuffle since I got it. I cut stones to it. I turn it up driving the country roads. I play it just chillin in the smoke lounge. Even among my metal and blues heavy library, Eric Hilton has a spot all his own! Another great album! ij13
