Our History

Olhar, an Austin-based Shoegaze and Noise Rock project, fuses the sounds of My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Spaceman 3, and Brazilian Psychedelic Rock. The band, formed in Fort Worth in early 2024, revolves around the textural music and mixed Portuguese-English lyrics of João Rangel.

Smoke

Our debut EP, "Smoke," delves into Rangel's early adulthood struggles with mental health and immigration, drawing inspiration from both Brazilian music legends and personal experiences with psychosis and recovery. The EP's instrumentation features contributions from several musicians, including Jordan Dyer on drums, Joshua Cañate on saxophone, Polo Garcia and Mark Hutchinson on bass, and Walter Bland on keys. Recorded in May 2024 at Nomad Studio in Dallas, the record was produced, mixed, and mastered by Sam Culp.
