Moon-eyed romantics will find succour in Thiago Pethit, a young Sao Paulo gent whose tremulous love songs and bare piano ballads couldn't be further away from the sounds you'd expect from his home city if its maker upped sticks to the north pole. But his 2010 debut, Berlim, Texas, won fans including Brazil's king of tropicalia, Caetano Veloso, and it's not hard to see these melancholic songs touching a nerve for those who swooned to José González, et al. "He's a little of Leonard Cohen and Serge Gainsbourg, but at the same time making his own thing," says Ana Garcia, editor of Coquetel Molotov. "He is busy, playing all over Brazil, and later this year he'll be playing a few festivals out of Brazil, like SXSW."
