terraplana at Chess Club
Formed in 2017, Terraplana is a four-piece band from Curitiba, Brazil, blending atmospheric shoegaze with indie rock. The band consists of Stephani Heuczuk (vocals/bass), Vinícius Felix (vocals/guitar), Cassiano Vidal (vocals/guitar), and Wendeu Emerick (drums). After releasing an EP and performing across Brazil in 2018 and 2019, they returned in 2023 with their debut album 'olhar pra trás', released via Balaclava Records. Praised as one of the best Brazilian albums of the year, it resonated with shoegaze lovers for its lush guitars, haunting melodies, and introspective lyrics.
Since the album's release, Terraplana has played over 50 shows and performed at festivals like Primavera Sound São Paulo and Balaclava Fest. 'Natural', their sophomore record, is due to March 11.
