Brazilian artist Marina Mole has released ‘Luneta Azul’, the first single from her upcoming album Azucrim, via Café8 Music.

The track brings out the brighter side of the new record, drawing from surf rock while keeping Marina’s rough, playful edge. She says releasing the album campaign with this song felt natural, as it was the first track she wrote for the project back in 2022, before she knew it would become a full album.

The video for ‘Luneta Azul’ was directed, filmed and edited by Marina herself, with a visual style inspired by The B-52s. It features the musicians who helped shape the album’s arrangements: cleozinhu on drums, Lucas Monch on bass and Vitor Wutzki on guitar.

The song was recorded by Beeau Gomez at Estúdio Memória, with mixing and mastering by Eduardo Possa. Marina wrote the song and plays guitar, with Wutzki adding guitar and backing vocals, Monch on bass, and cleozinhu on drums and backing vocals.

Azucrim is a 10-track concept album built around a fictional angel who is sent to Earth to live as a human. Through that story, the record moves through love, illusion, loss and redemption, while crossing punk, surf and garage rock.

Marina Mole was born in Brasília and is now based in São Paulo. Alongside music, she also works as a journalist, poet, visual artist and videomaker. After the lo-fi release perdi as track só tem demo in 2022 and several collaborations, Azucrim marks a new phase in her solo work.
