Abismo e Carnaval

2012 studio album by Rogério Skylab

Abismo e Carnaval (Portuguese for "Abyss and Carnival") is the tenth studio album by the Brazilian musician Rogério Skylab; the first installment of what he calls the "Trilogia dos Carnavais" (Trilogy of the Carnivals). It was self-released in 2012.[1] Contrasting with the rock-influenced sonority of Skylab's previous releases, the three albums of the Trilogia dos Carnavais head towards a softer, less experimental direction inspired by Brazilian traditional genres, such as samba, bossa nova and MPB, and by the Tropicalista movement.[2][3]

Critical reception

The album has received positive reviews upon its release; writing for Território da Música, Edi Fortini gave it 3 stars out of 5, commenting that "it may sound a little weird at first if you're used to Skylab's previous releases", but "this estrangement gradually fades away" and that, "in the end, the musician achieves the perfect union between rhythm and lyrics". She particularly praised the tracks "Um Acorde Imperfeito", "Só", "Eu Sou uma Pedra" and "Equivocidade".[5]
