The Big Odd is a Brazilian instrumental quintet with a focused, powerful and energetic style that stems from a sonic mix of post-rock, progressive rock, jazz and beyond. Through an adventurous approach that values freedom, creativity and self-expression, guitarists Gabriel Perpétuo and Vicente França, drummer Tiago Eiras, bassist Antônio Vinícius Silva and woodwind player Guilherme Peluci work together to create a sound that aims to build new connections with listeners by experimenting with rhythms, timbres, and narrative soundscapes. The homonymous album is the result of a 3-year collaboration that started as an artistic residence, during which band members spent several hours a day at Camará Studio, in Belo Horizonte, arranging the songs that were later recorded at Ilha do Corvo Studio with the production of Leonardo Marques. With seven featured guest musicians, the outcome is a deeply engaging polyphonic experience that celebrates singularity and dissent in independent art. Having played together for over a decade, the members of The Big Odd collaborated with important artists such as João Donato, Uakti’s Décio Ramos, former Planet Hemp member BNegão, Curumim, and Cidadão Instigado’s Fernando Catatau. During this period, the band performed in many Brazilian festivals, in the US and in China.
