Rakta & Deafkids to Release Live at Sesc Pompeia May 21; LP Preorder Available

rakta and deafkids

Just in case anyone ever asks you what the future sounds like, the answer is Rakta and Deadkids. The two Brazilian outfits have toured together in the past, and it’s from one of their collaborative shows in São Paulo that the forthcoming Live at Sesc Pompeia comes. The vinyl is set to release May 21 through Rapid Eye Records, and I see no reason to dissemble. In sound and style, it is Space Rock: The Next Generation and it pushes boundaries of punk, what the kids used to call electronica, krautrock, and probably six or seven other genres on its way. If the cool kids actually had any idea what was cool, this is the shit they’d be listening to. Fire emojis and so on.

That’s all there is to it.

Preorders are up now and you’ll find the link right before the info from Rapid Eye on the other side of the artwork. Hold on, you’re almost there:

Rakta Deafkids Live at Sesc Pompeia

Rakta & Deafkids “Live at Sesc Pompéia” OUT MAY 21

Preorder: https://www.rapideyerecords.com/store/rakta-amp-deafkids

Our first release of 2021 is a collaboration between the incredible RAKTA and DEAFKIDS from Brazil. You have surely heard of both in the past years as they have been dominating the underground with their unique, genre-bending take on psychedelic rock, post-punk and beyond.

The LP “Live at Sesc Pompéia” is out on May 21 in a very limited edition of 400 copies.

Rapid Eye Records are proud to present two of the most innovative bands of the international underground scene; RAKTA and DEAFKIDS. On July 2nd, 2019 they performed an electrifying concert together at the legendary venue Sesc Pompéia in São Paulo, Brazil. Previously released only digitally, a selection of the set will now be available on LP as a limited edition release via Nada Nada Discos (Brazil) and the Berlin-based Rapid Eye Records (rest of the world).

The setlist includes songs from the EP “Forma/Sigilo”, which showcases compositions written by both bands together, for the first time played live. “Miragem” and “Flor da Pele” from RAKTA, out of their “Falha Comum” album, and “Templo do Caos” and “Espirais da Loucura”, taken from “Metaprogramação” by DEAFKIDS – complete the record.

There’s no political anachronism in the songs, but rather a fragmented identity. Just like samba and other native cultural manifestations with roots in Brazil’s history of cultural resistance, this blend of punk, primordial rhythms, electronic and experimental music also resonates as somewhat transcendental. Among instrumental distortions and parallel paths through music-making, Douglas, Marcelo and Mariano from DEAFKIDS, and Carla, Paulo and Maurício from RAKTA have shared many creative interactions, including a joint tour through Europe. The album sounds as a register of this psychoactive journey, one of aggressive echoes and sensations, that go beyond any sonic dimension.
