lnfo: Autoramas started as a surf music group. This album was released 1 January 2015, when surf was still a main focus for them; however, it also includes several good songs with vocals. This was in the Flávia Couri (bass player) era. She left Autoramas to play with her husband, Martin Couri, in the Courettes. (Check them out on Bandcamp.) Gabriel Thomaz has written much excellent surf music. — Bruce
