Review by Alistair McQuade

Bird Songs Of Brazil And Other Jungle Voices – A Wild Ride Through the Amazon Alright, buckle up. This isn’t your typical Spotify playlist or some hyped-up EDM drop fest. Bird Songs of Brazil and Other Jungle Voices by Johan Dalgas Frisch is raw, unfiltered jungle juice for your ears. It’s like sticking a mic in Mother Nature’s face and letting her scream back at you. No polish, no auto-tune—just pure field recording gold from Brazil’s untamed wilderness. Copacabana Records put this beast out there, and it's wild enough to make you question why we're even listening to "music" anymore. First off, let’s talk about that track with the Giant Potoo (Nyctibius Griseus). Holy crap, what is this bird on? Its call sounds like someone took a dying kazoo and ran it through an echo chamber made of leaves. But here’s the kicker—it sticks with you. I’ve had this weird owl-meets-ghost wail bouncing around my brain for days now, and honestly, I’m not mad about it. The Giant Potoo doesn’t sing; it haunts. You can practically feel the humid mist rising off the Amazon as its low moan fills the air. If spooky vibes are your thing, this one’s gonna hit different. Then there’s Uirapuru (Leucolepis Modulator)—the crown jewel of the album if you ask me. This little dude doesn’t mess around. His song is sharp, intricate, almost mechanical, but still dripping with soul. Some people say the Uirapuru’s got magical powers in Brazilian folklore, and after hearing this track, I get it. It’s like he’s weaving spells into sound waves. Every chirp feels intentional, like the forest itself leaned in to listen. Forget ASMR—you want chills? Uirapuru delivers. Now don’t get me wrong, this ain’t background noise for your yoga session or whatever. These tracks demand attention. Frogs croaking their amphibian hearts out, Azteca ants marching to their own beat (literally), and birds throwing down vocal battles left and right—it’s chaos, but beautiful chaos. Like walking into a rave where everyone forgot they were human. Credit goes to Frisch for capturing all this without turning it into some sanitized nature documentary soundtrack. He lets the jungle speak for itself, loud and messy. And shoutout to Joseph E. Brant for the liner notes because, damn, they’re nerdy AF but also kinda cool. Reading them feels like getting handed secret decoder rings to unlock the mysteries of these creatures. You start realizing how deep this whole ecosystem thing runs, and suddenly you’re Googling “what do tinamous eat?” at 2 AM. So yeah, Bird Songs of Brazil isn’t for everyone. If you need beats or lyrics to vibe to, bounce. But if you’re ready to trade predictable hooks for unpredictable hoots, this album will slap you awake. Honestly, it makes me wonder—why do humans bother making music when nature already throws down harder than most producers ever could? Here’s the twist though: listening to this record made me realize something kinda messed up. We spend so much time trying to escape silence, filling every second with noise, that maybe we’ve forgotten how to just… listen. Maybe the jungle has more to teach us than we think. Or maybe I’m overthinking it because that frog chorus really slapped. Either way, check it out—but only if you’re brave enough to let the wild win.
