It's clear that Tom & Joy's hearts are in Rio de Janeiro, but they are comfortable and far better off when they blend the bossa with a wide palate of acoustic songcraft. Antigua, easily the most highly promoted album of their career yet released it gained U.S. distribution through Tommy Boy, is also their most ambitious -- and successful.

Antigua, easily the most highly promoted album of their career yet released it gained U.S. distribution through Tommy Boy, is also their most ambitious -- and successful.
