A Brazilian band from the late '80s known for their poetic, sometimes controversial songs.
For a sense of their style, try 'Aceito a Ascensão Como a Morte de Meus Sonhos' or 'Sombras Tristes de Corpos Incolores.' Both show what they did best.
They built a small but dedicated following with songs like 'Aceito a Ascensão Como a Morte de Meus Sonhos,' which became particularly well-known among listeners. Their tendency toward longer, descriptive titles, 'Sombras Tristes de Corpos Incolores,' 'Rastros de Uma Batalha Inventada', gave their work a distinct, literary quality. The 2000 plagiarism accusations around 'O Vôo da Fênix' added a layer of real-world friction to their story.
Acróstica formed in São Paulo in 1988 with Ricardo Guarnieri on vocals, Alexandre Costa and Márcio Oliveira on guitars, André Matos on bass, and Maurício Jr. on drums. They released their debut album 'O Outro Lado do Olho' in 1992, followed by 'Retratos da Memória' in 1998.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
