Joana Queiroz

Tempo Sem Tempo is the fifth studio album by São Paulo based clarinet player, singer and composer Joana Queiroz, now available on vinyl for the first time outside of Brazil.

It is indeed a timeless record. A cocooning blend of looped reeds and low-key electronics holding melodies and lyrics. When Joana sings, it’s with noble restraint and grace, as can be heard on four songs including Gilberto Gil’s ‘Seu Olhar’ and ‘Dois Litorais’ by her friend and Quartabê band mate Mariá Portugal. Standing out on ‘Tempo Sem Tempo’ is a wistful beauty that makes it easy to immerse oneself in the intimate vastness of this album.
