The Braga quartet TRAVO performs their new album 'Wasteland' live, taking their heavy, half-progressive psychedelic rock to a new point of fusion.
From their humble, sweaty beginnings in a garage, kicking up psych lo-fi dust from the rug, to their rise to imposing festival stages such as Trans Musicales or Eurosonic and an appearance on KEXP, the gradual recognition of this Braga quartet over the last decade has been won through grit and bravado, in step with their own evolution. Or, in other words, through the creation of an increasingly distinct and self-assured identity. Natural, but never easy. Ever more removed from the sphere of influence of bands like Slift or King Gizzard & The Lizard, the band made up of David Ferreira, Gonçalo Carneiro, Gonçalo Ferreira and David Ferreira revealed, quite incisively, the intensity of their heavy, trashy, half-progressive psychedelic rock with the release of the celebrated Astromorph God in 2025, following the laminar process operated on Ano Luz and Sinking Creation. On that upward curve, Travo present here the brand-new Wasteland, a record that amplifies the stellar projections of Astromorph Gods to a fusion point where expansive guitar leads, galloping rhythms, cascades of fuzz, spectral synthesizer passages, wah-wah deliriums, echoes and vocal melodies between the shriek and 70s memorabilia crystallise into a blow as physical in its sonic musculature as it is open to mental reveries. BS.
