Together, they blend lo-fi indie rock, psychedelica, noise, afrobeat, and Brazilian references that range from Luiz Gonzaga’s primal Pernambuco sound to classic Brazilian psych rock. In 2019 their sound was discovered by indie rock legend Doug Martsch of \u003cb\u003eBuilt to Spill\u003c\/b\u003e, which led to him inviting Lê and João to become temporary members of the 90’s indie rock band.
