Releitura das Plantas Renováveis is a retake on prog, post-punk and grunge in a surrealistic conversation with a dog about change in world full of certainties.

Plantas Renovaveis

Releitura das Plantas Renovaveis

You can hear echoes of Jimi Hendrix, Gilberto Gil, Elvis Costello and Os Mutantes mixed with the band's own art-rock-experimental-pop sound. The band made up a new instrument, the 'Pratotarra' (a cymbal attached to an electric guitar), to record the final part of this song.

Orelha Negra

I don't know what to say, I don't know what to do...

These two only sentences of the lyrics repeat in a heavy hypnotic spiral throughout the new single 'Nonato' by the Brazilian art-rock-experimental-pop band O Branco e o Indio.

But inside this repetition there's a wide gamma of intentions, meanings and thoughts that come to mind as you listen to it . The song was inspired by the German krautrock band Neu! and the Brazilian music genius João Donato, thus the name 'Nonato'.

Nonato

After venturing through noise experimental sounds as a duo, the Brazilian band from Rio de Janeiro O BRANCO E O INDIO’s guitarrists and vocalists Flavio Abbes (IN-SONE and UAR) and Bruno Rezende (ex-Lucas Santtana, Carne de Segunda and Canastra) decided to call in bassist Roberto Souza (ex-Os Dissidentes) and drummer Pedro Serra (Estranhos Românticos) in 2017 to return to the world of pop: to the melodies and metric, to the good and old tune. But the noise, dissonance, effects and the disturbing but fascinating arrangements linger in their ART-ROCK-EXPERIMENTAL-POP style. The've harmonized the hemispheres and found their equator line. 

Before releasing the album PLANTAS RENOVÁVEIS (Renewable Plants) on 11/22/2018, five singles were released gaining worldwide airplay in stations such as KEXP FM and KXSF FM (USA), Granollers FM and Contrabanda FM (Spain), 6 Towns Radio (England), UAM 94.1 FM (Mexico), Furor 93.5 FM and FM Universidad de La Plata (Argentina), Suba al Aire 88.4 FM (Colombia), Ness Radio (Morocco). In the 12-original-song CD there's a sound and rhythm mix that is influenced by The Talking Heads, Os Mutantes, Sonic Youth, Clube da Esquina, Ween, Júpiter Maçã, James Chance, Neu! and Devo (among others) and scrambles them all together with the extensive musical experience of the four band members, generating their sensorial and imagetic sound with neo-concrete, existential and surreal lyrics.
