Brazilian psychedelic rock band BIKE unveiled their new single "O Torto Santo" on Wednesday.

The song, which can be heard below, is the first single from BIKE’s forthcoming studio album Arte Bruta, which will be released on May 5 via Quadrado Mágico Records and Before Sunrise Records.

Guitarist/vocalist Julito Cavalcante said this about the song and forthcoming album:

“The lyrics for this song were inspired by self-analysis, where I understood that everything has two sides and that we have to be aware of what happens around us, strong enough to face difficulties and take advantage of every opportunity that life gives us.
Both ‘O Torto Santo’ and this album move forward from our sound on previous albums. We managed to mix all the coolest things we had already done with new references and older ones that have not yet appeared on other albums. We also added new elements and handcrafted instruments in the songs. The idea was to sound artistic and raw at the same time.”

Pre-orders for Arte Bruta, which follows the band’s 2019 studio album Quarto Templo, can be made here.

BIKE will have their first-ever shows in the United States this month at the SXSW Festival (March 13 - 18) and Treefort Music Fest (March 24 - 26).
