Autoramas

Following a string of successful live appearances, Autoramas attracted the notice of major label Universal, resulting in the 2000 release Stress, Depressão e Síndrome do Pânico becoming the inaugural album issued on the company's Astronauta Discos imprint. Personnel shifts followed the exit of Nervoso, who was succeeded by Bacalhau, formerly of Planet Hemp. The group concentrates on somber, melancholy themes rooted in urban experience.
