about

“Rosto Zen” is the second single from MOMO. since his transcendent full-length album I Was Told to Be Quiet came out last Fall. The new track was originally composed for the album Voá (2017), but ended up on the cutting room floor. It resurfaced in the early recording sessions for I Was Told to Be Quiet, when MOMO. moved into the home of Los Angeles producer Tom Biller (Elliott Smith, Fiona Apple, Karen O) for a month to collaborate on the album. The two were in close quarters during that time, sharing meals, making countless pots of coffee, and simply living life together for a while. At the end of production, “Rosto Zen” missed the cut once again, but Biller decided to remix the track with his own signature arrangements of electronic samples and dreamy synthesizers. So now, MOMO.’s surrealist love story finally sees the light of day, 3 years in the making.

lyrics

Rosto zen
Um tremendo lugar
Entorno do sol
os olhos, luar
No corpo o amor
pro dia, pra noite, o sono

Sorte vem
Prevendo encontrar
Retorno, farol
Teu rosto solar
Não corre do amor
É dia, é noite, é sonho

Ela ri num gesto casual
Doce aqui, sem tempo de fugir
Ela vai mudar os meus traços
Ninar nossos filhos
Deitar os meus monstros
Me cobrir
