2009 release, the third album by this side project from Prefuse 73's Guilermo Scott Herren. Herren, with Eva Puyuleo Muns and Roberto Carlos Lange, were inspired by a shared love for South American Psychedelic music and the early '70s independent music scene that briefly flourished in Brazil. 16 tracks.

Expanding the Savath y Savalas project to include another member and yet more musical ties to obscure South American folk music, La Llama may have been recorded on the busy Bowery but the setting sounds more like rural Brazil. Guillermo Scott Herren's project with Catalan singer and songwriter Eva Puyuelo Muns grew after 2004's Apropa't and 2007's Golden Pollen to include the Ecuadoran-by-way-of-Florida sound manipulator Roberto Carlos Lange, who makes for a perfect fit with Herren's skills and philosophy. As before, enterprising beatheads who assume that anything from Herren (or the label of release, here Stones Throw) must be chock full of breakbeats will be very surprised; Savath y Savalas productions are odd curios of slow-motion clockwork, only slowly rotating their gears and occasionally halting entirely -- a naturalist's version of experimental-techno stalwarts like Autechre. The songs are airy and atmospheric, and aside from Puyuelo's vocals, tie most closely to Herren's heroes in the early-'70s Brazilian psych-folk movement: Milton Nascimento, Lô Borges, Lula Côrtes, and Zé Ramalho (especially the latter two). That style of music being obscure to modern listeners makes this project's viability a good one, and La Llama reveals material of quality from a great ensemble of musicians.
