### **Brazilian rockers BIKE present potent Amazonian psychedelic trip on ‘O Torto Santo’ single**

_“This is a fabulous band with positive, reflective and stimulating music… they 
seem very much to Brazil (and the world) what Tame Impala is to Australia. The light
of the sun is here with slight strobes of dark trippiness caught between the trance-
like guitar riffs” _~ [**Amplify Music Magazine**](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=http%3a%2f%2fbit.ly%2f3ENDp3M&umid=10703cdf-6f63-4ba4-84e3-d464f87fddd0&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-872b4526e4156726c2c305f0e7177b27180a62a0)

Ahead of that, they preview** **[**‘O Torto Santo**‘](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fbikeoficial.bandcamp.com%2ftrack%2fo%2dtorto%2dsanto&umid=10703cdf-6f63-4ba4-84e3-d464f87fddd0&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-d8427fef26fda70ea5acb940e92c26ce18eaecf9),
the intriguing lead single from this psych-rock, post-Tropicalia, noise rock collection.‘
Arte Bruta’ represents the process of self-analysis the band has undergone in recent
years, resulting in the most daring leap in the group’s career.

BIKE’s trajectory has been one of long journeys, formed in 2014 by **Julito Cavalcante**(
guitar and vocals), **Diego Xavier **(guitar and voice), **Daniel Fumega **(drums)
and **João Gouvea** (bass).

“The lyrics for this song were inspired by self-analysis, where I understood that
everything has two sides and that we have to be aware of what happens around us,
strong enough to face difficulties and take advantage of every opportunity that 
life gives us,” says **Julito Cavalcante**.

“Both ‘O Torto Santo’ and this album move forward from our sound on previous albums.
We managed to mix all the coolest things we had already done with new references
and older ones that have not yet appeared on other albums. We also added new elements
and handcrafted instruments in the songs. The idea was to sound artistic and raw
at the same time.”

Turning heads and pleasing fans since launching, BIKE is the only Brazilian band
that has released music **([‘Enigma Do Dente Falso’](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fbikeoficial.bandcamp.com%2ftrack%2fenigma%2ddo%2ddente%2dfalso&umid=10703cdf-6f63-4ba4-84e3-d464f87fddd0&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-499748483ff5c720434de6bee19778e42fce0c77))**
in 2014 through **Columbia Records** imprint **30th Century Records**, founded by
cult American producer **Danger Mouse**.
