A Brazilian rock group that started with punk energy and gradually wove in folk and ambient textures.
For a good sense of their range, try 'O Astronauta de Mármore' and '3000 Léguas.' Both show how they balanced melody with more atmospheric touches.
They formed in 1985 and built a loyal following with lyrics that tackled social and existential themes. Their 1996 song 'O Astronauta de Mármore,' inspired by Clarice Lispector's novel, became one of their most recognized tracks. Even as they experimented later on albums like 2014's 'Linear,' their music never lost its melodic core.
They began with a raw, energetic sound drawing from punk and New Wave. Over time, they folded in folk and ambient textures, which gave their music a more atmospheric feel. The lineup stayed fairly consistent, with Thedy Corrêa as frontman and Carlos Stein on guitar.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
