LUIZ BRUNO MERGES 90S HIP HOP WITH PSYCHEDELIA Brazilian artist living in London releases first single and premieres video Luiz Bruno is a musician and songwriter who plays multiple instruments and has a very prolific career. He started his musical journey in Porto Alegre, Brazil, playing bass and electric guitar in bands within the local underground achieving notoriety in the scene. Arriving in London in 2013, he performed with indie singer Vincent Sala and soon started his own psychedelic rock band, Brother Low Elephant Grass. He’s played in England and France in legendary venues such as The Hope and Anchor where bands like The Ramones and Joy Division started their careers. In 2015 he began his solo career using the moniker I Know I’m An Alien and performed at Fat Out Fest in Manchester as well as in other venues in the London independent music scene. Leaving the old alter ego behind, Luiz Bruno now turns to pop and hip hop from the early 90s, adhering to the tones and aesthetic of that time as well as adding elements of psychedelic rock. Luiz Bruno performs live with the help of drum machines, synthesizers, bass loops and his mysterious and unique atonal guitar sound. Luiz Bruno’s music is avant garde but at the same time danceable and accessible to all. His lyrics, written in English, are simple and concise. Luiz Bruno makes use of humour in his songs, performances and attitude as an artist. According to him, his style could be described as “Hippie Hop”, or even “Trip Hope Psicomequié”. YEAH! is the debut single and will be released on June 27th through the Brazilian label Take One Records. Along with the new track, there will be a video accompanying the song produced by Brighton based Dogbrain Videos who specialise in music videos. In one week’s time from the first release, the song WORDS ARE NOT REALITY will follow YEAH! as the second single to be presented to the public. A full length album is due to come out in 2018.
