"Lô Borges" is the 1972 debut solo album by Brazilian songwriter Lô Borges.
While recording Clube da Esquina alongside Milton Nascimento and Beto Guedes, Lô Borges was pressured by Odeon Records to release a solo album. Borges, only nineteen years old at the time, wrote the album very quickly, sometimes writing a song in the morning and recording it that night. The album did not achieve much success at its release, although it gained cult status in the following decades. After the release of this album, Borges would not release another album until 1979's "A Via Lactea".
Alex Turner, lead singer of the band Arctic Monkeys, said that the song "Aos barões" of the album by Lô Borges served as inspiration for the production of the album "Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino".
