BIKE

BIO

From promise to reality, BIKE climbed all the ladders within the Brazilian underground. Establishing itself as one of the great bands of Brazilian neo-psychedelia and releasing records with different aesthetics and strategies. 1943 (2015) and Em Busca da Viagem Eterna (2017) bringing the frying and youthful spirit to the epidermis; already in Their Shamanic Majesties Third Request (2018) the approach with references from northeastern psychedelia was more latent, a rhythmic record and showing more about where there is firepower, calmness can also coexist. But it was with Quarto Templo (2019) which had a dynamic of launches spread across rooms that the approach to the foreign market and consolidation came. Having caught the attention of none other than producer Danger Mouse, famous for his extensive research into music beyond the mainstream (see their wonderful playlist).

NEW MUSIC

The pandemic period also coincided with the production of what would be São Paulo's fifth studio album, Arte Bruta. The first seasonings arrived with the new sensory and very psychedelic singles "O Torto Santo", "Filha do Vento" and "Santa Cabeça", which were released by Before Sunrise Records. A trail that grows little by little amidst distortions and the search for infinity after a period when seeing any kind of light was something that seemed to live only in a dream.

This whole spectrum of colors ends up reverberating in a band that has an atmosphere that isn't just psychedelia but that comes close to the dissonance of post-punk and the freedom of jazz. Emancipating from the currents of the past in search of self-knowledge ends up being the song's keynote.
