"Melding industrial 808s with melodic softness, Marçal weaves disparate strands into a playful and powerful whole." – The Guardian

Following the release of her critically acclaimed 2021 sophomore album Delta Estácio Blues, Juçara Marçal returns with a 4-track EP of new songs, preceded by the release of a video for Delta Estácio Blues stand-out, Sem Cais.

Delta Estácio Blues was judged the best album of 2021 by two of the most important Brazilian critic awards, APCA (Paulista Association of Art Critics) and Prêmio Multishow (where the album also won producer and song of the year) and Juçara keeps the pressure up with the 4 tracks on EPDEB, produced as on Delta Estácio Blues by her long-time musical partner Kiko Dinucci.

Juçara Marçal’s Delta Estácio Blues album captures the anger felt by many in Brazil at the current government’s repressive regime, and imagines a new history of Afro-American music in which blues, samba, rap and Afro-Brazilian religion are but interchangeable tributaries on a river that never ceases flowing.

Four years in the making, Juçara’s second solo album sees the Brazilian singer turn her usual way of working on its head. Recorded with an extended family of collaborators and produced with fellow Metá-Metá founder Kiko Dinucci, the album finds Marçal using hip-hop’s method of initially creating a beat for each song as a way of rewiring her own music, resulting in some of the most uncompromising and often aggressive songs that she has ever put to tape.
