Two excellent and immersive works from the Brazilian songwriter. No Reinon Dos Afetos is translated as “in the realm of affections” and these records sound like they’ve come from a amorous dream. Recorded over 7ish years with old friend and fellow Alagoas musician Batata Boy they are wonderful works of mpb that draw from contemporary bedroom pop, electronic music, and hazy folk rock styles. The second volume includes one of the finest Arthur Russell covers that’s ever been recorded. Hearing that song placed alongside the originals makes a lot of sense. Bruno Berles music has a similar mix of sophisticated softness with a weathered, human touch.  Fans of mellow pop, trip hop, and romantic folk pop will find a lot to love in these records. And these records have a lot of love to give in return.
