9HoursAtSea

9 Hours at Sea formed around three musicians: Luanda Vieira on vocals, Nuno Lima on bass, and André Dias on guitar. Their sound pulls from folk and jazz, with a lean toward the experimental. They put out their first album, 'The Longing,' in 2019.

A song like 'Pôr-do-Sol (Eu e Você)' shows their way with a bittersweet ballad. It was the lead single from their second album, 'Drowned in the Deep,' which came out in 2021. Other tracks, such as 'Cicatriz' and 'Naufrágio,' continue in that vein of exploring themes of longing and loss.

In 2020, the band dealt with allegations of plagiarism concerning an early song. They denied any wrongdoing. The group has kept a focus on their music, which often draws from personal experience and literature, favoring an introspective lyrical style over grand statements.
