Animal Invisível - Animal Invisível

Multi-instrumentalist, producer, and composer Guri Assis Brasil announces the release of his debut solo album as Animal Invisível, an instrumental project fusing 70s Brazilian grooves, jazz, and psychedelic rock.

Recorded remotely between 2020 and 2023 with an exceptional lineup of musicians—including Pupillo, founding drummer of Nação Zumbi, and acclaimed trombonist Antonio Neves—the album captures both the isolation and creative connection of its time. Tracks range from the dancefloor energy of "Estriquinada" (a Brazilian boogie inspired by Marcos Valle and Lincoln Olivetti) to the harmonically complex "Dendê" featuring string quartet arrangements.

The album showcases Guri's versatility, blending influences from 1970s Brazilian instrumental music that married samba and American funk to jazz, alternative rock, and modern French electronic acts like Air. His guitar serves as the convergence point for layers of sound featuring Hammond organ, horn sections, psychedelic synths, and even vocoder experiments.

A Live Session directed by Rafael Rocha (Noize Record) will accompany the album release, featuring musicians from the recording in action.

About Guri Assis Brasil: Guri began his career in 2001 in Porto Alegre as a member of the band Pública, earning two MTV VMB Award nominations (2007, 2009). Since 2010, he's been based in São Paulo, working as a studio and live musician with some of Brazil's most respected artists while developing his craft as an arranger, producer, and composer.

Nublu Records presents a limited edition gatefold LP pressed on Cherry base eco-mix vinyl and housed in full color gatefold jacket with archival dust sleeve and full color LP labels. Only 300 are being made for the world and will not be repressed.
