Dante had Virgil lead him through the forest, but there is no one to guide the listener through the tangled webs of monotony and yelps that overshadow Tetine’s From a Forest Near You. This DIY, home-recorded collection from Brazilian duo Bruno Verner and Eliete Mejorado suffers from an identity crisis. Though together for over a decade, Verner and Mejorado are performance artists at heart and they can’t seem to strike the right balance to make this a pleasurable listen. On one hand, the album is mostly a collection of exotic pop tracks characterized with metallic clamors, wiry synth tones, and Verner cooing on bright tracks like “Electric Sun Ra”; on the other hand, the flow is continuously interrupted by Mejorado’s drawn-out protestations on the artsy-fartsy tracks she sings lead on.
