Brazilian singer/songwriter, and model Gab Ferreira announces her new album Carrossel, will arrive on October 10 via DVLPMNT / Balaclava Records. The album features various streams of Brazilian music, including bossa nova, Tropicália, and the country’s thriving modern indie scene, with influences from trip-hop, Japanese psych rock, and electronic music. Along with the album’s announcement, Ferreira has shared lead single “Law of Nature.” The song explores “reconnecting with the spark in everyday life, falling in love with the unknown and learning to take risks.”

Carrossel is inspired by the close observation of what Ferreira describes as “codes from nature” — everything from the spirals in shells to the configuration of rocks in the sand — as well as her studies of Buddhism and pagan theology. Propelled by a desire to connect with nature’s divine essence, she eschewed her typical electronic processes in favor of a more organic approach, centering live instrumentation and in-the-room sound as she built up songs initially written on just guitar or piano.

In her young career, Ferreira has already played Lollapalooza Brasil, has been modeling since she was 17, and is set to play Balaclava Fest with Stereolab, FCUKERS, and Yo La Tengo this fall. Releasing her first record, Lemon Squeeze, at  19 . The entirely self-written, English-language project introduced viral singles “Alone With Everybody” and “Not Yours.” That same year, Gab also collaborated with singer YMA on their hit “Summer Lover.” In recent years, she expanded her sound into the world of electronic music, collaborating with American DJs Baltra and Planet Express on a remix of “Karma” — the first single from her second album, Visions— and the drum and bass track “Here.”
