It’s the middle of the night somewhere… But there’s always time for a Friday Freebie! And the year was 2019 and in July of that year, SPIRAL GURU made the Doom Charts with their brilliant VOID release. Or as Reek of STOOM (Stoner HiVe) wrote back then: “Spiral Guru‘s blend of groovy Stoner licks and sweet, folkish vocal tones is infectious and intoxicating! Slick and well-crafted, these Brazilians are definitely Bossing the Nova!” In 2024 it was SILENCED VOICES and reached 24th spot where Andy Kovalcik (Bandcamp-NYP-Hard&Heavy) wrote: “SPIRAL GURU is back with another EP of excellent stoner/psych rock. As good as the music is it is the beautiful vocals that push this over the top. If you’re familiar with the band you’ll know what to expect and will not be disappointed. If you aren’t familiar with them and are reading this that needs to be corrected right now. I’m pretty confident that you will not be disappointed either. This belongs in every stoner/psych fan’s collection. I’d love to see this band live.” This year, in May, they came out with NEXUS! Entering the Charts at Number 28th! Another chapter in the ever winding adventure of SPIRAL GURU!
Frazer Jones (Desert Psychlist) wrote: “Why do I love this album? The answer can not be found in words just listen and you’ll know why!”
Their own words:
“The full-length album Nexus took two years to produce. It stands as an act of resilience for Spiral Guru following a pandemic, loss, and disconnection. Nexus explores the fragments left after a decade of existence for an authoral band from Piracicaba, a city in São Paulo’s countryside. It is the product of what remains after time and circumstances stripped away over ten years of dedication to musical artistry—what endures, what connects— as well as with the new integrations that came to compose the band. The album speaks of the bond between elements, of embrace. The embrace after abandonment and farewell. It speaks of what keeps us tethered to life: our connection to the unconscious, to loved ones, to our essence. The duality between the forces that bind life—the suffocating embrace and the welcoming one. The mother’s embrace that devours her child; the embrace of the siren, of the unconscious, of love, and of parting. The embrace of death and of life. Nexus is what fills the Void, the missing half that binds. The album also reflects on submission to these connections—whether virtual, mythological, or ancestral. From ancient entities to new ones. We hope you, too, will connect.”
