São Paulisto/New Yorker Sessa is known in Brazil for playing with the psych-funk band Garotas Sueca, and in New York for playing with psych-post-rock shredder Yonatan Gat. But on his new solo album he's gone all acousticsamba on us -- and I've got to tell you I love it! Opening act Ilya, on her excellent debut album of last year, was unafraid to go full-out in-your-face electric-guitar on some cuts (interspersed with bubbly Brazilian pop). I'll be she's great live, too.
