GOLDFISH THUMB
I first heard of Caixa Cubo on Bandcamp radio when Angela was released. They immediately became my go-to for music to fit just about any mood.

In 2015 Caixa Cubo joined forces with the Brazilian saxophonist Gustavo D'Amico for the recording of Urano, composition by pianist Henrique Gomide and drummer João Fideles. This profound and visceral session will finally be released as a single. Once again, Caixa Cubo reaffirms to the public its vocation as a multifaceted project, open to different musical universes and experimentations.
Caixa Cubo
Without being guided by fads or the phonographic market, the group formed by Henrique Gomide (keys), Noa Stroeter (acoustic and electric double bass) and João Gabriel Fideles (drums) reaches its eleventh year of activity. In an absolutely autonomous and coherent path, the musicians of Caixa Cubo play what they want, what moves them. Whether getting into more experimental sounds, like in the electric albums "Saturo”, "Quartzo” and “CANIL_”, or in personal re-readings of the timeless repertoire of Brazilian music, like in the excellent albums “Misturada” and "Enigma - A Música de Garoto".
The group's latest album, "Angela" (Heavenly Records), has been collecting praise from specialized critics and figures on the list of best albums of 2020 according to such vehicles as BBC6, Worldwide FM and the renowned DJ Gilles Petterson.
In Urano, Caixa Cubo reaffirms to the public its vocation as a multifaceted project: open to different musical universes and experimentations, with compositions and creations in real time that are not anchored to any space-time points.
