Mass is a band from mid west Brazil, united amidst a story of loss, reconnection and reconstruction. The sensitivity of the lyrics, complex arrangements and all the visceral energy deposited into the compositions, give the trio a particular feel of a contemporary classic.
The band starts to take shape with the return of Rogério Mesquita to his hometown, soon after the death of his father. The delicate moment and love for music brings him closer to his childhood friend Geovani Fernandes, who was also dealing with loss, still mourning his mother. For two years they meet almost daily and develop together the band’s sound, which now brings mature melodies and arrangements, as the result of intense and thorough work. All the musicality and originality of the lyrics and melodies gain strength with Giovanna Brunes, who consolidated the trio and gave Mass a voice.
The three members, now united by music, have always been involved with art, which brings Mass a particular aesthetic, bearing a piece of the personality and interests of each one. Geovani developed his work as a guitarist, composer and music producer, having produced over 300 albums throughout his career. Rogério has established a respectable career in photography and film, both in art and advertising. Giovanna is an architect, comes from a family of musicians, has sung since she was 7 and now is the front girl of her first band.
In their first single, Terra Nous, Mass proves obstinacy and maturity in songwriting. The lyrics bring us the perception and sensitivity of a subject that seems hidden. Among the song’s possible voices, we have the urgent call from an exhausted planet singing “as I bleed the life I once had”. All the beauty and strength of the composition is consolidated with the music video, amidst a backdrop of ashes and devastation. The song is a delicate invitation to get in touch with our perceptions and emotions.
