And many thousand miles as well. 'Desconocidos', their highly praised debut, was recorded in Barcelona, Spain and released in 2012. <br /><br />The new album 'Amor Violento', released April 28th by Balaclava Records, was recorded in a small, secluded studio in Portland, Oregon, USA.<br /><br />Portland (US West Coast) is a cultural, dynamic and creative city with a vibrant independent music scene. “There’s a huge artistic movement there, inspiring people to focus on craftsmanship and value creativity first and foremost," says Thiago Klein, who alongside Eduardo Praça forms Quarto Negro. <br /><br />The time the duo spent in the Pacific Northwest was an immersive period of growth and discovery. “We went to Portland in search of inspiration, a clean break from routine and to find our innermost focus," continues Thiago. <br /><br />They were welcomed with a one of a kind opportunity to record in a studio with vintage equipment and a host of like-minded creative collaborators. Amor Violento is produced by native Portland duo The Helio Sequence. Bands Menomena and The Thermals contributed. <br /><br />The new record is accompanied by a full-length feature documentary, GRU-PDX, set for release shortly after the album, that chronicles the duo's travels and the Portland recording sessions. It is directed by “honorary band member” Daniel Barosa.<br /><br />"It’s a collision of the Portuguese language with ethereal melodies, of the Catalan summer with the cold US coast, and of Brazilian and North American musicians", explains Eduardo. <br /><br />'Desconocidos' (2011)<br />'Amor Violento' (April 28, 2015)<br />'Buu' (2008)<br />'Zoroastro' (2009)<br />'Bom dia, lua' (2010) <br /><br />Eduardo Praça - acoustic guitar/vocals<br />Thiago Klein - keys<br />Guest participation Haven Multz-Matthews (Animal Eyes-Portland) - drums<br /><br />Next shows:<br />'Dia da Música', June 21, 1.30pm - Alameda das Flores - MASP, Sao Paulo. <br />USA West Coast Tour, July. <br /><br />http://www.quartonegro.com.br <br />https://twitter.com/quartonegro<br />https://instagram.com/quartonegro<br />https://www.youtube.com/quartonegro<br />https://soundcloud.com/quartonegro<br /><br />CREDITS / SPONSORS<br />Production, Booking & Script: UK Live Sessions Music Entertainment Projects & PR <br />Cam-op: Keila Antunes and Caue Patucci <br />Mixer Engineer & Music Production: Rafael DG by Audmo<br />Guest presenter: David Ferreira (Lucky Lupe) <br /><br />Photographers: Keila Antunes and Caue Patucci<br />View Location: Centro Cultural São Paulo - http://www.centrocultural.sp.gov.br/ <br /><br />Supporter: <br />Centro Cultural São Paulo - http://www.centrocultural.sp.gov.br/<br /><br />Equipment by Nikon - http://www.nikon.com.br<br /><br />Beverages by Bier & Wein - http://www.bierwein.com.br/<br />Feel Good Tea and Sufresh by Wow Nutrition - http://www.wownutrition.com.br/<br />Catering Tyrrell's by Latinex - http://www.latinex.com.br/<br /><br />Tune in again to BalconyTV //
