Being quite the ambitious Brazilian indie rock duo, Atalhos are driven by the passion of vocalist and composer Gabriel Soares and guitarist Conrado Passarelli for literature. They have previously released the double vinyl “Onde A Gente Morre” in addition to “Animais Feridos”(2017), both mixed by Mark Howard (Neil Young, Tom Waits). In 2019, the duo teamed-up with Chilean Ives Sepúlveda (The Holydrug Couple) for the production of a new album, which would ultimately be recorded across three different cities (São Paulo, Santiago de Chile and Buenos Aires).

Today, Atalhos have dropped their latest effort A Tentação do Fracasso and dropped the stunning single ”Tierra del Fuego.” Showcasing loose and hazy qualities, “Tierra del Fuego” features dreamy guitar strums, clouds of synth imagery, intoxicating looping beats and evocative melodies. The track was mastered by legendary American producer Greg Calbi (Tame Impala, The War on Drugs, Bon Iver) at Sterling Sound.

A work that crosses borders and celebrates the Latin American brotherhood in collaborations, A Tentação do Fracasso flirts with the psychedelia of the Chilean’s The Holydrug Couple (Ives Sepúlveda of whom produced the record), the sunshine-kissed South American sounds and the Spanish-flecked vocals of the Argentine’s El Príncipe Idiota and Delfina Campos (who both guest on the record).
