Brazilian Girls return in 2018 with Let’s Make Love, their first album since the 2008
Grammy-nominated New York City. Formed in 2003, the group—Sabina Sciubba (lead
vocals, electronics), Jesse Murphy (bass, vocals), Didi Gutman (keyboards, vocals),
Aaron Johnston (drums, percussion, vocals)—was born after the four members crossed
paths at East Village club Nublu. “Somehow we all ended up at Nublu on a Sunday and
it all came together,” says Johnston. The band began playing Nublu weekly, embracing
a free-form ethos that helped shape their kaleidoscopic sound. “A lot of the spirit of the
band comes from being so open to improvise like that,” says Murphy. Fast earning
attention for their euphoric live show—and winning fans like Zach Galifianakis, who later
cast Sciubba as a regular on Baskets—Brazilian Girls released their self-titled debut in
2005 and sophomore album Talk to La Bomb in 2006.
