Killer Punk-Funk/New Wave 12” featuring the Sao Paulo based group Tetine along with a wicked remix from CSS. This is Tetine's second release on Soul Jazz Records and is a taster for their forthcoming album Let Your X’s Be Y’s, a wild mix-up of Punk-Funk/New Wave/Post- Punk/Baile-Bass.
A HISTÓRIA DA GARÇA -- 12''
Tetine's 12' single on Soul Jazz Records! " A História da Garça draws more on the latter sound than the former, with a slight, almost menacing down-tempo groove that cuts swathes of unease before breaking into a clean 80's DX-7 synth lead that evokes the mid-period sound of Cabaret Voltaire. Though the gurgling bassline is cold Northern minimalism at its finest, the drums are a pure shot of baile funk. A startling combination of influences and ideas that I'm still working out. Definitely one to watch." Mallory O´Donnell

SAMBA DE MONALISA
"Tetine, Brazilian artists Bruno Verner and Eliete Mejorado have created a dispassionate American travelogue of great tenderness and reserve. As male and female voices offer intimate insights into the directionless, inertial flow of their relationship, a sharply defined soundtrack follows them on a road trip from New York to Vegas. The televangelist rant, cool French tone and Hip Hop lope of the opening suggest an emotionally detached take on Jean Luc Godard’s classic debut Au Bout De Souffle but the mute longing of ‘Amada Amante’ and ‘I Met Him in The Bar’ go way beyond even that." The Wire, 2002
OOLHA ELA DE NOVO
Electropop meets spoken word. From the secret lives of misogynistic pigs in clubland to the pleasures of wig wearing.
Home-recorded throughout 2001. 'Olha Ela De Novo' mix melancholic spoken word tales of love and loss with sexy electro-samba experiments.
"The duo chronicles their time through songs that range from shamelessly lyrical to refined irony. (…) It is the most modern realization being made in São Paulo popular music. It is modern because it is international, electric, investigative, multicultural and solitary. A golden egg amongst boring identical farm eggs." O Estado de São Paulo, 1999
"The duo Tetine make music for 1998 in 1998(...) The fact is that there is no discretion in ‘Creme’. When speaking of sex, they go directly to the core of the issue. ‘On Your Finger’, ‘Water’ and ‘Living as Quickly as You Can’ are good examples." Folha de São Paulo, 1998
"In this debut the duo proceeds down the narrow path previously passed by artists like Meredith Monk and Philip Glass, adding dramatic elements extracted from the methodology of Antonin Artaud and Grotowski." O Estado de Minas, 1997
