Birutéricos

**Birutéricos** is a São Paulo-based Brazilian psych-rock act known for their hazy, retro-tinged grooves and introspective lyrics. Emerging around 2016, the band blends lo-fi charm with swirling psychedelia, often weaving themes of mysticism, urban isolation, and existential curiosity into their Portuguese-language tracks. Their sound feels like a time capsule cracked open—think vintage organs, fuzzed-out guitars, and hypnotic rhythms that nod to '60s/'70s Brazilian tropicália while feeling distinctly modern. Releases like *Vênus* and *Observatório* showcase their knack for crafting dreamy, atmospheric head-trips, while their DIY ethos and cryptic visual style (often featuring artwork by collaborator João Carrara) add to their cult-like appeal in Brazil’s underground scene.

Though shrouded in mystery, Birutéricos has become a staple in São Paulo’s alternative circuits, sharing stages with fellow psych explorers like Boogarins and sharing a love for analog warmth and trippy experimentation. Tracks like *Templo Budista* and *Estação Druida* highlight their affinity for blending spiritual imagery with gritty, urban storytelling—a vibe that feels equally at home in smoky basement gigs or late-night headphone sessions. Independent to the core, they’ve carved out a niche for themselves as guardians of Brazil’s psych revival, one reverb-soaked riff at a time.
