The missing link between Rock, Electronica, Jazz-Funk and Brazilian music, Virtual Jungle features top musicianship in a set of gorgeous and dreamy songs.
Editorial review
It's hard to know what to expect from a band called Virtual Jungle, but what Brazil-born, New York-based singer/songwriter Lucio Rebello offers is a bossa nova-influenced take on folktronica. Virtual Jungle is based primarily on acoustic guitars and drum machines, with other subtle arrangement touches like the extremely '70s-sounding electric piano on the moody opening track "Traces," and the vintage synth warbles that fade in and out of most of the songs. Rebello's delicate singing voice is slightly overpowered on the harder-edged material, but much more effective when things quiet down; "Flying" offers a perfect example of this dichotomy, shifting into a Spanish-guitar-driven B section about halfway through that's far superior to the first part of the song. (Rebello also sings in his native Portuguese on several tracks, including a second version of the English-language "Regret.") At times, Virtual Jungle comes across as a one-man version of recent Saint Etienne, as on the danceable "How Far Would You Go (For Love?)" and the dreamy, jazzy ballad "Lost and Found." For the most part, however, Rebello combines his influences into something fairly unique. ~ Stewart Mason, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
Virtual Jungle is a creation of New York-based composer/multi-instrumentalist Lucio Rebello.
He was born in Blumenau - Santa Catarina - Brazil.
Perhaps this could partially explain the eclecticism found in his music, if one considers the incredible cultural and musical diversity of his country.
But the most accurate explanation lies in his music background, which features many different genres (Lucio graduated in 2002 from Berklee College of Music-Boston-MA, with a Bachelor's Degree in Film Scoring) .
Virtual Jungle's music is an eclectic blend o rock, electronica and jazz-funk, with some classical and Brazilian bossa-nova influences.
Its debut recording features Lucio's "impressive vocal range and great instrumental skills on the guitar, as well as on various other instruments".
↓ more ↓It also features top Brazilian drummer Mauricio Zottarelli (Marc Rossi's Jazz Quintet, Sal Di Fusco's Band) and guitarist Gustavo Assis Brasil (Guitar Player's Magazine Spotlight, The Dig Trio), a rising star in Jazz/Fusion circles, as a special guest.
