The sophomore studio long player from the Brazilian psych-pop outfit led
by longtime friends Fernando “Dino” Almeida and Benke Ferraz, Manual continues to mine classic ’60s Tropicalia and liquid-light show
neo-psychedelia, but with a more contemporary flair. What’s changed
since 2013’s excellent As Plantas Que Curam is that the band is
no longer just Almeida and Ferraz conjuring up the ghost of Os Mutantes
in their pieced-together basement studio.
