terraplana - olhar pra tr​á​s (2023)

The underground very noisy music from Brazil makes another appearance on my blog. This time, it's all about the Curitiba-based terraplana who have recently released their first ever LP called olhar pra tr​á​s.

The album is kept in this very much melancholic atmosphere (the title itself translates to "Look back") which is built with the extremely noisy, lo-fi sounding guitars and dispersed vocals. The latter are provided by Stephani Heuczuk who, together with another band member, Cassiano Kruchelski, interestingly enough for me have names that give out some kind or Poland-related origins. Anyway, music-wise there's everything one would expect from the shoegaze music with strong lo-fi vibes: the guitar noise is something that reigns the compositions and makes an overwhelming effect on the audience with the melodies and vocals struggling to resurface. But this is what we are here for.

olhar pra tr​á​s costs 7 USD.
