“Show me your São Paulo.”

Mountain peaks. Dark streets. Lost in a maze of crisscrossing roads in some misty South American city, Trails and Ways brings us upbeat rhythms and lyrics that relive late-night Brazilian escapades. Far from these hazy memories and the stories in which they dwell, the four-piece finds its home in Oakland, California. You can download Trails and Ways’ latest release, a collection of singles entitled Trilingual, over at the band’s bandcamp. Think Jorge Ben Jor having a little night out in Malmö with The Radio Dept. Well, not quite— but I can dream. dream nova.

“I wanna tell you how you’ll understand—I will;

nunca nunca.

te esconder, desaparecer.” 

“I lost you in Jericoacoara. I lost you in Floresta Tijuca. I lost you in every part of the country.”

Come on now, how can you not be enamoured by the superior swag and Samba-like style? Enjoy the best from that beautiful Brazilian bulge in South America.
