Warning: it’s going to be hard to write a review on this
tape that isn’t longer than the actual tape itself. The band is named after a Gregory Peck movie
based on an Ira Levin book about a Nazi clone conspiracy originating in post
war South America. However, these Boys from Brazil are from Olympia, Washington
and make synthpunk with very pronounced 80s new wave and industrial elements
blended in as opposed to Hitler clones…I think. Their self-titled release make
for a quick-but-fun listen. Fans of Liars last album “Mess” as well as the Boys
from Brazil’s former bands Milk Music and Cairo Pythian ought to give the tape
a listen. Hopefully more music will come soon.
