Album Notes

A self-referential solo recording by Dos DaRosa of Judith and Holofernes. The title translates as "Fat Little Devil Pig." Adorable, in that old world way. Some of these songs are re-creations of old Portuguese recordings his parents listened to, while others are re-creations of alternative songs he listened to as a teenager. And one song is a re-creation of a song that Dos wrote himself some years ago. See what I mean about self-referential? It does us good to examine ourselves.

PLEASE NOTE: The first edition of this CD is no longer available. The current inventory includes a second-run CD-R version of the album. The quality is the same as the original but does not include the silk-screened canvas sleeve.

Gut wrenching lament never sounded so soothing. I don't know the names of the sound techniques used but they are mind tingling. And vocals are gorgeous. More please.
