MÔDULO 1000: NÃO FALE COM PAREDES ON RPM INTERNATIONAL

Few records from the past that bubble up genuinely sound like nothing else – one that really sounds nothing else is Môdulo 1000’s sole album, 1970’s Não Fale Com Paredes (Don’t Talk To Walls). Opening cut Turpe Est Sine Crine Caput sounds like a junior Black Sabbath crossed with early Devo, but with a Brazilian sensibility. Môdulo 1000 show that Tropicalia was part of the story – Brazil was home to even freakier music. An extraordinary album, it has to be heard.

An easily available version of Não Fale Com Paredes has been needed and now – with the help of the band – RPM International is releasing a special, band-approved reissue of the album, supplemented by all the tracks they recorded for singles and rare compilation albums. Founder member Daniel Romani has been interviewed for the package.

Tracklist below, and it’ll come out in November (exact date not yet set).
