"As São Paulo is kind of suffocating we decided to isolate ourselves in a wooden house in the mountains in a city called Campos do Jordão, two hours away by car. Mura came up with a beat he was working on based on a “berimbau” line, a typical Brazilian percussive instrument and we then added a bass line probably influenced by Pixies’ Kim Deal as we'd spent hours on the road listening to Surfer Rosa and Doolittle. Once you’re out in the woods breathing fresh air you simply realise how insane it is to live in a complex, surreal city like São Paulo, sometimes you just need a break to see yourself from a different angle, it's almost like we had to climb a mountain to see ourselves down there in the city. We pictured ourselves in a maze, walking and running, trying to escape, to make money, to make music, to make a career, 24/7, unsustainably frenetic." - Andre Faria.

Aldo is a tribute to the brother’s uncle Aldo, a crazy dude responsible for taking his nephews - while still kids - in a crazy journey to the night of São Paulo (Brazil) with unpredictable endings.

With a mix of eletronic beats, synths, bass and guitars, the band aims the nightclub. References goes from Happy Mondays, to Princee and some brazilian soul and funk (Maria Fumaça and Eumir Deodato).
