"Millions of Brazilians", Dianogah's third full-length album, sees the band at their finest, with a cohesive set of songs which were written over ten months...a relatively short period of time for the band. Taking an aesthetic leap, the band enlisted John McEntire (Tortoise, The Sea and Cake and Bastro) to record the new material. McEntire's input filled out the arrangements in a lush way, which contrasts with Dianogah's previous album as they were sharp and straight-ahead documentations of the band (as recorded with Steve Albini). The results are richer, fuller and larger than the relatively stripped-down sound of the previous two albums. The band included vibrato-laden electric guitar, the Fender Bass VI, piano, synthesizers, Hammond Organ and bass clarinet on this record and to some degree attempted to use the studio as an instrument itself, more than they have in previous recordings. Guest musicians Rachel Grimes (Rachels), John Upchurch (The Coctails) and John McEntire also brought their talents into the studio for "Millions".
