For decades, Brazilian psych-rock band Os Mutantes have been widely known and respected for their Tropicalia sound.
Here’s a video about the band:
From my inbox, “Kurt Cobain once made a public plea for them to get back together. Devendra Banhart asked if he could be their roadie, and Beck said ‘for years it was pretty much the only thing I listened to.’ Now, after 35 years away, Os Mutantes are finally back and set to release their first new album in years.:
I’ll admit I’m terribly excited to see interest in Os Mutantes growing. The group’s new album, Haih, will be out on September 7th on Anti Records.
