Júpiter Maçã is a Brazilian multi-instrumentalist and composer with his personal version of a 60's inspired psychedelic sound. He has been lauded by
a pop elite including such luminaries as Sean Lennon, Tim Gane, Sean O'Hagan or Dean Wareham, "Uma tarde na fruteira" is his fourth album. In a typically beautiful sleeve, JUPITER APPLE's album takes us back to the most creative and exciting period in Brazilian music, from the 50's to the 70's from bossanova to tropicalism, filled with the same exuberance that soaked the recordings by Os Mutantes, Os Braçoes, Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, Tom Zé and Gal Costa. There's soft pop songs like early Roberto Carlos, intimate bossanova à la Luiz Bonfa or Baden Powell, easy listening to be filed with Sergio Mendes, and psychedelic pop and expanding symphonies that make you think of "Pet Sounds" and "Smiley Smile"
