Os Mutantes to release first album for 35 years
 

Brazilian band Os Mutantes are to release their first album in 35 years.

'Haih', the belated follow-up to 1974's 'Tudo Foi Feito Pelo Sol', will be out on September 7.

The band, who reformed in 2006, will release 'Haih' on the independent label ANTI- record label.

Of the new album, frontman and founding member of the band, Sergio Dias Baptista has said in a statement: "Living the conception and birth of this album was the most intense experience, for it was as if time has ceased to exist, and I was bouncing from life to life, decades through decades, revisiting myself as a 16 year-old boy playing guitar and feeling so free and indestructible."

Os Mutantes' 1968 single 'A Minha Menina' was famously covered by The Bees on their 2002 debut album 'Sunshine Hit Me'.

I fucking LOVE Os Mutantes. I'm very interested to hear what kind of album they would make in 2009.

This of course would most likely mean a tour too, which I'm more than psyched for.

So Os Mutantes is Brazilian for My Bloody Valentine then.

In 10 years time the trend will releasing posthumous debut albums.

This will suck.

yes, probably. sadly. os mutantes were great, but also very much of their time...

I love the old albums, but wasn't a big fan of the live show they did with devendra barnhart, I feel like this record will be along the same lines.

It would be cool if they could get Rita Lee to re-join for the album.

this seemed inevitable, considering they've been touring.

not sure what they'll do for a singer though. I thought Zelia left the band "for good".

I've not been able to make it to the big festival shows, so I'm very interested to see what they sound like now.

My assumption as well. I'll listen to it as soon as it leaks, though. Os Mutantes are beautiful. I hope for the best.

They were fucking amazing at the Nightmare Before Christmas last year*.
I won't be in a hurry to hear a new album though.



* or that might just have been the drugs

one of the baptista brothers left too, so now there's only one original member.
