Up-Sun

Up-Sun formed in 2006 with Mariana Aydar on vocals, Kassin on guitar, Thiago Alves on bass, and Pupillo Oliveira on drums. They released their debut album 'Outros Baianos' the following year, which included the song 'Onde eu fui parar?' that became something of an anthem for listeners drawn to its introspective mood.

Their 2009 album 'Ritmo de Festa' had more of a dance-oriented energy, while the self-titled 2012 record and 2015's 'A Cada Instante' moved toward electronic textures and personal themes. Other songs like 'Aonde você está?' and 'Sou um nada sem você' continued in that vein of questioning and emotional directness.

They've worked with a mix of pop, rock, and electronic elements, though the specifics of any controversies mentioned in early press aren't really part of how people talk about the music now. What sticks are those early 2000s recordings where Aydar's voice floats over arrangements that feel both crafted and slightly unsettled.
