Mechanics

Mechanics is the brainchild of Brazilian experimentalist Paulo Beto, a shapeshifting project that thrives on genre collisions and surrealist soundscapes. Operating from São Paulo’s underground scene, Beto stitches together lo-fi electronics, glitchy noise, and avant-garde textures with a mischievous DIY spirit. Their discography—from the cheekily titled *Formigas Comem Porra* to the existential sprawl of *Music For Anthropomorphics*—feels like rummaging through a thrift-store cassette bin where analog warmth tangoes with digital chaos.

Tracks like *Neither Acoustic Nor Electric* and *Psycho Love* revel in contradictions, blending warped pop sensibilities with industrial clatter, while *12 Arcanos* and *Fracasso* nod to Brazil’s rich musical fringe. Mechanics’ work often feels like a cryptic art installation—playfully cryptic, unapologetically odd, and stamped with Beto’s knack for turning found sounds into fever-dream narratives.
