(5 out of 5 stars)
"Numismata is a brilliant Sao Paulo based brazilian pop-rock band.
Keen to their roots as well as music enthusiasts and conisseurs, this CD is really one of a kind, as anything with an ounce of soul should be.
Mixing incongruous influences as such as Wilco, Jards Macale, Flaming Lips, Chico Buarque, they suceed in overcoming all comparision and creating their own distinctive sound.
As being brazilians, they add samba to it, as an american would dirge into folk.
Their critic aclaimed lyrics dwell in life, death, age and loss.
really a must have"
