Freestyle Family
BNS sessions

The Soundscapes - Freestyle FamilyThe band comprise of brothers Rodrigo and Raphael Carvalho and they relocated to Brooklyn from Sao Paolo, Brazil after growing up in the southern city of Maringa. As young teenagers, the Carvalhos consumed a diet of British and American indie records from Echo & The Bunnymen to Joy Division, The Smiths and Pixies. They moved to the USA in 2003 and spent three years "absorbing the city, going to a lot of shows and developing ideas," before creating The Soundscapes. The album was recorded and produced by John Davis at The Bunker Studio in Brooklyn in the summer of 2008. It is a melting pot of indie infulences that results is an album of lo-fi guitar pop recalling the likes of Sonic Youth, Fugazi and Sleater-kinney. A cult band with crossover appeal, they won't do a Vampire Weekend but more a critics choice and a quiet revoultion.
