A Brazilian indie rock band that mixed samba and bossa nova with straightforward, melancholy songwriting.
If you want their sound in a nutshell, try 'Caixa de Recordações' or 'Mudanças'. They're both good examples of that unadorned, everyday melancholy they did so well.
They carved out a space in the 2000s Brazilian scene by blending indie rock with local sounds like samba, not just copying international trends. Songs like 'Caixa de Recordações' and 'Mudanças' have that plainspoken, slightly sad quality that feels lived-in. They also worked with artists like Adriana Calcanhotto, which kept them connected to the wider music community.
The trio formed in São Paulo in the mid-1990s around Thiago Pethit, Fábio Pinczowski, and Leandro Fortes. Their debut 'Caixa de Recordações' in 2002 brought them attention, and they followed with albums like 'Zero' and 'Flor do Mal' over the next decade. The core lineup stayed together through their recording years.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
