(re latest album Arte Bruta)

"There are also gems like Filha do Vento, composition with hypnotic lyrics and guitars that seem to come out of a Sonic Youth record. This richness of detail and delirious overlapping of elements is even more evident in the second half of the album. Inaugurated by the reductionist guitars of Além-Céu, the work advances little by little, combining acoustic arrangements, effects and birdsong that at all times reinforce the lysergy of the São Paulo quartet."

"Although psychedelia is a hallmark of the band, in Arte Bruta the musical and lyrical references go beyond the lysergic references of previous records (“O Torto Santo”) in a wave of creative explosion. The album features an Afro-Brazilian filter present throughout the work, in addition to echoes of psychedelic rock from the 60s, tropicalism and post-tropicalism from the 70s, German progressive rock and the rhythmic structures of krautrock (“Santa Cabeça”)."

"a psych-coated effort with a "dreamy way of singing, straight out of the Astrud & Bebel Gilberto songbook." - 𝐖𝐨𝐍𝐨 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐞

"Cool mix of trippy vibes, sunlight breaking through the fog sounds, drifting ambience and some darker, brooding song lines to add ballast and edge."
