Their 2021 album Podridão marked a shift toward compositions entirely in Portuguese, blending sludge-inflected doom with psychedelic heaviness across seven tracks. The band has been featured on the Weedian-curated Trip to Brazil compilation, placing them among the notable voices in Brazil's growing stoner/doom underground.
