Biography

Glue Trip is a Brazilian psychedelic pop band that emerged from the coastal city of João Pessoa, Paraíba, in northeastern Brazil. Formed in 2012, the band, currently led by Lucas Moura, masterfully blends dream pop, bossa nova, and psychedelic rock influences, creating a sound that is both tropical and experimental with a significant international appeal.

Their music often evokes sun-soaked soundscapes, weaving Brazilian musical traditions with modern, laid-back grooves. Glue Trip's work incorporates lush instrumentation, nostalgic textures, and a distinctively relaxed vibe that captures the essence of Brazil's beachside culture. Initially conceived as a solo project by Lucas Moura, the band evolved into a full ensemble, gaining a wider international following through their atmospheric live performances and genre-blending recordings.

With several acclaimed albums such as "Glue Trip" (2015), "Sea At Night" (2018), and "Nada Tropical" (2022), Glue Trip has solidified its place in the Brazilian and international alternative music scene. Their sound has been compared to that of influential Brazilian artists like Os Mutantes and Clube da Esquina, showcasing a unique ability to merge classic Brazilian musicality with contemporary psychedelic and electronic elements.
