A Lisbon quartet that started with 'Primavera' and kept shifting shape.
For their early energy, 'Primavera' still holds up. If you want their later mood, try 'Red Light'.
They've been Portugal's reliable pop engine for over two decades, but never settled into one sound. 'Primavera' was the early hit that put them on the map, and later tracks like 'Red Light' show a darker, more electronic side. Their 2007 album 'Explode' was released only online, which felt like a statement back then.
They formed in the mid-1990s as a quartet with Nuno Bettencourt on guitar. Bettencourt left in 2004, and the lineup changed again with new members coming in. Their sound moved from the bright pop of 'Primavera' to the more introspective work on albums like 'Altar' and 'Vertigem'.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
