The one hundred twenty-ninth album: #129 Caetano Veloso - Caetano Veloso
I wasn't quite sure how to fit Os Mutantes into things here, but it feels clearer for Caetano Veloso. A lot of these songs feel like Bossa Nova, jazzy numbers with a more Brazilian sound, here sometimes drawing on psychedelic rock but it often feels calmer than that. It's nice, it works well as swinging in places, but doesn't feels as out there as some of the write up led me to believe. Eles, in particular, does feel different, but even then it layers an electric organ on top of an existing song - it feels like it's there to be odd, rather than to be an integral part. The songs all sound good, but I'm not sure the "foreign" additions really benefit the songs.
