In the vibrant musical scene of São Paulo, a sonic phenomenon emerges, redefining the structures of modern rock.

The release is more than an album; it’s an experience.
“Vai,” the lead single, delves into the depths of 90s grunge, with heavy riffs and melodic vocals that capture the essence of an era. The song’s lyrics, as Gentili describes, “depict the various forms of mass manipulation,” a profound reflection on the challenges of the contemporary world.
The tracks “Movimento em Vão” and “Eu Bem Que Lhe Avisei” are other highlights of this album. In “Movimento em Vão,” the band weaves a powerful portrait of modern restlessness, while in “Eu Bem Que Lhe Avisei,” lyrical intensity meets an enveloping melody, creating a magnetic contrast.
The special collaboration with musicians Mauricio Scaramal (drums) and Fábio Mendes (electronics) adds intriguing layers to the songs, creating a rich and multifaceted auditory experience.
But it’s not just the music that defines Efeito Catarse. The band is a creative fusion of minds, a synthesis of ideas resulting in a unique sound. “A strong point of the band is having two composers who know how to work together, and this blend of ideas is what shapes the sound of our compositions,” shares Pepe.
