“…a benediction, or a prayer, from an analog limbo.”



“…tracks designed for Prosecco-soaked rooftop soirees.”
 
 
“Brazilian Girls have no problem making their mish-mash sound downright normal …Albums like New York City stress that in 2008, everything—people, music, whatever—is a hybrid of some kind. For the Brazilian Girls, its casual exoticism isn't just a point of honor, it's the only path that makes sense.”

 
“…the only dance band that matters.”

 
“…New York City sounds equally well-suited for Tokyo karaoke bars and South American milongas. But for all its international flavor, the album stays true to its titular subject, paying tribute to Brazilian Girls' hometown.”



“On ‘New York City,’ Brazilian Girls have crafted a set as internationally diverse as the Big Apple itself.”

 
“…crazily eclectic…increasingly experimental…appealing peculiar…”



“New York City is a lounge-y pileup of bossa rhythms and Old World romantic ache, girded by slithery push-button funk throb—at once trashy refined and happily trashy.”


“Riff genius, immaculate drummer and fashion diva: The Girls resemble Blondie more and more every year. And that’s a good thing.”

 
“…the trio jumps between genres and samples rhythms from several Big Apple (and world) neighborhoods with club-thumping success. The album bumps from electronica to cabaret to jazz and back again; it's busy but never feels schizophrenic.”


“…a joyous mix of jazz, bossa nova, reggae and other exotic rhythms, sensuous melodies and absurdist humor.”

 
“…a sometimes messy, often exhilarating, and always cool mishmash of cultures and styles.”


“…their third studio album, the band’s most complex and groovable to date, is an homage to their hometown and titled simply New York City.”
