Company of Thieves is based around the musical partnership of Genevieve Schatz and Marc Walloch. Walloch provides the unexpected riffing and blues influence while Schatz delivers the soaring and sweet vocal melodies. Their ode to the master wordsmith is a crunchy, mid-paced bit of soulful drama – like a partnership of Neil Young and Fiona Apple. If you like the track, check out the album.

If the idea of a hip-hop crew from Rio de Janeiro doesn’t get your blood pumping a little faster, then take a quick listen to this track from A Filial’s first U.S. album. “Calma Pedro” takes much inspiration from Brazil’s vibrant musical scene, from the street sounds of skateboarding hip-hop heads to all-night favela parties. Kooky and off-kilter, booming with bass kicks – A Filial is the sound of Brazil right now. If you like the track, check out the album. For more info, visit A Filial’s MySpace Latino page.
