Repress: Strangelove Music isdelighted to present its first project, two songs from Lena d’Água, one of Portugal’s great musical acts of the early 1980’s. Combining a siren presence and soaringvocalsalong side songwriter Luis Fonseca and backing band Atlântida, they released a series of records that wove through the avante-pop sensibilities of the time.Collected here are two of their more leftfield moments; ‘Jardim Zoológico’ is a beguiling mix of new wave, post punk and dub into a short sharp pop format, impossible to properly categorize, the dynamic composition sounding as fresh now as it did 35years ago. On the flipside, the calmer ‘Tao’ takes Fonseca’s keyboards towards more eastern territory, conjuring up a dreamy synthesized new age vibe. Lena’s beautiful fado hued notes hang poignantly across bothsongs. Beautifully re-mastered by reissue specialist Peter Beckmann.
