A Sounds and Colours premier: new EP by Exclusive Os Cabides
22 May, 2026Released today is the new EP from Exclusive Os Cabides which blends Brazilian music influences with energetic indie rock, crafting a distinctive identity rooted in the region’s alternative scene. Hailing from Florianópolis, an island in southern Brazil with a history of producing idiosyncratic indie bands far from the dominant Rio–São Paulo axis, their new EP draws equally from both Brazilian ‘70s sounds and the bittersweet melodies of the C86 scene. Feliz e triste ao mesmo tempo (Happy and sad at the same time) offers seven short tracks which are the result of an intense year on the road, touring their album Coisas Estranhas, an experience that led the band to pursue a more rock-driven sound, aiming to get crowds moving. “The idea was to create a set of faster, more intense songs and build an interesting dynamic between them,” says João Paulo Pretto (vocals and guitar). At the beginning of this year, during the Brazilian summer, the band spent eight days at Ouié Studio working with Paulo Costa Franco. In regard to the production process, Costa Franco explains: “Basically, I try to achieve a tight, live sound from the band’s core – bass, drums, and guitar. That way they can express more energy.” You can listen to the new EP below.
