Rakta - Rakta Bootleg Tape 2x14

Review by Amy D. Cohen

Rakta Bootleg Tape 2x14 is the latest album by the Brazilian post-punk outfit Rakta. The album is a collection of live recordings from their concerts in Brazil and Europe, capturing the raw energy and intensity of their performances.

The album features a mix of old and new tracks, showcasing the band's evolution over the years. The opening track "Intenção" sets the tone with its eerie, atmospheric soundscapes and haunting vocals. "Ruína" and "Fim do Mundo" are other standout tracks, with their driving rhythms and distorted guitars.

The album's production values are intentionally lo-fi, adding to the DIY aesthetic of the band's punk ethos. The sound quality may not be perfect, but it captures the rawness and authenticity of the band's live shows.
