Oruã - Passe (2024)

On the heels of a much-deserved signal boost from Built to Spill guitarist and songwriter Doug Martsch—who recruited them as the backing band for the legends’ 2018 Brazil tour, and more recently, the rhythm section for 2022’s album When The Wind Forgets Your Name—Rio de Janeiro psych rock unit Oruã stay the winding, spaced-out course on their fourth album, PASSE. A hyper-saturated co-mingling of ’70s kraut, ’80s dub, and ’90s indie, interwoven by abstract messages of resistance and political tension sung in Portuguese, it’s part protest record, part slacker-pop beach getaway—and one hundred percent refreshing.
