SAUDADE DEBUTS AT #1
ON THE ITUNES ELECTRONIC CHART
NEW YORK SHOW ADDED TO TOUR
(April 9, 2014 – Los Angeles, CA)– Thievery Corporation’s new bossa nova album, Saudade, debuted at #1 on the iTunes Electronic chart this week. In celebration, the band have just added a New York date to their tour – an evening summertime show at Pier 97 on August 15th. A full tour itinerary, including a return to Red Rocks Amphitheatre, is available below.
Thievery Corporation’s first record devoted entirely to the Brazilian-born genre has been met with critical acclaim and overwhelming respect for the band’s talents, domestically and abroad. NPR’s First Listen debuted the album and said, “In contrast to what often grabs attention in electronic music, it’s calm, serene, uncluttered and defiantly warm.” The Australian called it “Brilliant,” while Salon.com said “the music is versatile: It’s sad, smooth tone could be listened to while lounging or commuting, but its steady rhythmic beat could easily translate to the dance floor.” The Guardian said “they take a suprisingly organic approach, tweaking bossa’s twitchy guitar rhythms with shimmering backdrops and the odd electro beat. Sumptous.” The Daily Mirror gave Saudade 4 stars.
