COLORAÇÃO DESBOTADA

Eu eu mesmo e os vários beijos cafeinados merges layers of distortion with gauzy pop melodies. Coloração Desbotada, however, isn’t another ethereal band emulating My Bloody Valentine. Despite the shoegazing references, Coloração relates more to american groups such as Pixies, Built To Spill and Gumball, as well as canadian favorites Eric’s Trip. Another strong influence is Guided By Voices, noticeable in the short songs and lo-fi production (the EP was completelly recorded using just one poor old PC mic). Lê Almeida, the guy behind Coloração, has even organized a brazilian tribute to Pollard’s group.

…Beijos Cafeinados marks the birth of Almeida’s DIY label, Transfusão Noise Records. The original CD-R pressing generated a bunch of new bands around Rio de Janeiro’s suburbs — many of wich have become Transfusão’s cast. The EP also represents the beginning of Pug Records, wich, celebrating the record’s fifth anniversary, developed an expanded version in cassette with unreleased songs. Some of these bonus tracks are available in this digital version, put out simultaneously by a lot of download blogs worldwide.
