Maquinarama

A pivotal shift from reggae-pop to lush, psychedelic Britpop. Shimmering guitars and vintage synths create a sophisticated, urban Brazilian rock sound.

The one where Skank stopped playing reggae and started sounding like a Brazilian version of The Beatles.

A sophisticated blend of retro-psychedelic wonder and modern urban melancholy.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The psychedelic swirl of the synthesizers that opens Balada do Amor Inabalável, signaling a departure from their ska roots.
The driving, Beatles-esque guitar jangle on Três Lados that anchors the album's new rock identity.
The expansive, atmospheric bridge of Ali where the production opens up into a wide, cinematic space.
