DAGUA, LENA - Jardim Zoologico

Strangelove present its first project, two songs from Lena Dagua, one of Portugals great musical acts of the early 1980s. Combining a siren presence and soaring vocals, alongside songwriter Luis Fonseca and backing band Atlântida, they released a series of records that wove through the avant-pop sensibilities of the time. Collected here are two of their more leftfield moments; Jardim Zoologico" is a beguiling mix of new wave, post punk, and dub into a short sharp pop format. The calmer "Tao" takes Fonsecas keyboards towards more Eastern territories, conjuring up a dreamy synthesized new age vibe." - Strangelove.
