Album Notes & Community Reviews

Led by former Tit茫s member Ciro Pessoa, the project's only studio album is a cornerstone of the Brazilian gothic rock movement. The production utilizes cold synthesizer pads and driving basslines that bridge the gap between early 80s UK darkwave and the regional 'BRock' aesthetic. Lyrically, the record explores urban isolation and literary surrealism, prioritize atmospheric depth and structural variety within a dense rock framework.
