Notes
On his fourth album for Rykodisc, Arto continues his lifelong, intense exploration of Brazilian-influenced rhythms and song structures.
Composed in Bahia in the midst of Carnival and recorded in New York, the songs on Prize are rooted in bossa nova and samba, but are equally injected with a healthy dose of Arto´s trademark guitar-driven chaos and unique lyrical style.
Prize features Arto´s longtime collaborators Melvin Gibbs on bass and keyboards as weel as inimitable contributions from Brian Eno and Brazilian legend Vinicius Cantuaria.
Co-produced by Melvin Gibbs, Andres Levin and Arto Lindsay.
