Hi everyone,
I released a solo album under the name Gato de Fogo yesterday. I mainly used a Reverend Double Agent W for guitars and a Jazz bass, so it's offsetrelated as well!
If you're into pretty guitar melodies, soothing synths, lofi beats and soft vocals and vocal samples, it might be your cup of tea. Hope you like it
Genre: ambient, post-rock, indie

That was very peaceful and relaxing. It's very similar to the kind of music my band plays, although we only use guitars, bass and drums, and a few of our songs have vocals -- mostly as another melodic instrument.
Nice job. It bears repeated listenings. Thanks.

Well I gave it a whirl and I'm pretty much listening to the whole thing. This sounds amazing, and it's so up my alley. Love the post rock vibe and the very clean sounds contrasting with grittier drums and bass. Pure beauty, and very imaginative. Really good work, I'll be listening to this often. Congrats!

Minne Lussa -- it's the name of a neighborhood here in Omaha in which our drummer grew up.
All we have is a demo session of some old songs.

Actually I got to the page and listened a bit, then I wasnβt signed in to be able to purchase. I have my password at home so Iβd rather just get that rather than make a new one. Your Bandcamp page is fine!

Thanks. We were supposed to go into the studio to record new stuff last friday, but Covid hit one of the other guitarists. We like to record live and dub the vocals later. We've got a gig friday night and that might be interesting with one person down.
