In the grand tradition of bands like Os Mutantes, Brazilian psych rockers Boogarins are about to invade America. The duo has a number of U.S. shows set up this spring, including a whole slate of Burger Records-related events at SXSW. Those dates are below, but those interested in checking out the band’s sound and aesthetic can check out the video for “Erre,” which The A.V. Club is premiering below. The jerkily animated clip is a bit trippy and a bit intense, but should give fans a glimpse into what the band’s live set is like.
Boogarins new record, As Plantas Que Curam, is available now via Other Music.
