Overview
This album starts as it means to go on, with beautifully crafted songs that truly transport you to the ‘60s. Personally, I felt truly immersed in it, and as you move through the tracks, you can feel your soul being cleansed. You'll notice plenty of sections of songs that have been sampled in popular tunes throughout history, and that is a testament to how timeless this album is, despite being a clear product of its era. Triste Janero released this stunning album and then disappeared forever, but the legacy lives on, with many musicians working to keep it that way.
Recommended for bossa nova mums stuck in the 1960s.

Album Artwork Rating
6/10
It’s clearly outdated, and the album title design reflects that, but the image of the group running hand in hand captures an unmistakable ‘60s energy and perfectly matches the vibe of the music. Maybe they had some help from Lucy in the sky for this photo…
