Review

With an abundance of nonchalance, Arto Lindsay opens Prize, his voice lazing over simple guitar strums, jumpy hand percussion, and more. Lindsay's shown himself a rich kaleidoscopic vortex, where vastly different music intermingles, creating a sleek display of his aesthetic appetite. He's obviously schooled in Os Mutantes and Gilberto Gil but he spikes every trace of his fellow Brazilian music makers with added layers originating in the No Wave and loft-jazz scenes. --Andrew BartlettArto Lindsay's a polynational multistylist of the first order. His Portuguese and English lyrics speak dually to the Brazilian Tropicalia movement and an experimental postpunk fluidity that never shies away from dropping jazzy horn licks amid scrabbling noise episodes. Prize is just that, a full-body and mind assault on singularity, grafting acoustic guitar elements à la Antonio Carlos Jobim into a stew of subtle horn charts, dual-language vocals, and thunking percussion. And then Lindsay delves, heart on sleeve, into a lovely ballad, always with a twist and yet always powerful in the way Tropicalia has consistently been. His fondness for electronics and samples comes to the fore severally, with squiggles and washes of synthetic sound knitting the music warmly but also challengingly. On par with Lindsay's best work, Prize makes dozens of bold statements by a man who seems to make only bold statements. --Andrew Bartlett
