cibelle (or, rather, her alter ego sonja khalecallon) invites you to plunge into her world of warped exotica (inspired by the kitsch and pseudo-exotic style of music that was all the rage in the usa at the start of the 1960s), an album soundtrack comprising nine original songs and three inventive covers: "underneath the mango tree" (as sung by ursula andress in the james bond film "dr no"), "lightworks" (from the eccentric raymond scott, a seminal exotica producer and pioneer of electronic music in the 1950s) and "it's not easy being green" (originally by none other than kermit the frog from the muppets!). each new album by cibelle takes the brazilian-born singer, producer and multi-instrumentalist into fresh and exciting sonic realms. she recorded "las vnus resort palace hotel" in her london basement, a vancouver woodland retreat invaded by bears, a homestudio in berlin and back in her hometown of so paolo. it features contributions from friends including josh weller, mocky, kristian craig robinson (capitol k), sam genders (tunng), damian taylor, fernando catatau, pupilo (nao zumbi) and others. cibelle's co-producer is bjrk's musical director damian taylor and she mixed it with thom monahan (au revoir simone, devendra banhart).
