    Marçal’s voice is just as playful and experimental as the production, veering from the melodic softness of Ladra, in which it counters the heavily distorted instrumentation, to the impassioned spoken word of Crash, and her warped lower register of Oi, Cat. It’s her mutable voice that gives this wildly varied album its sense of coherence – as well as its message.

    Delta Estácio Blues is easily the most experimental outing Marçal has yet released. The rhythmic genre fusions across rock and afoxé, glitch, samba, and pop experimentalism combine with seams and scars showing as one of the most ambitious musical projects released this year.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. espetacular, é experimental, forte, original e cheio de referências ao mesmo tempo, talvez não estivesse pronto para um disco tão complexo e cheio de camadas sonoras e líricas quanto "Delta Estácio Blues", um disco mais que visceral, espiritual.
