In 2012 the band won the contest "Som Para Todos", which included a concert at the Planeta Terra Festival in São Paulo and a distribution contract with Deckdisc.
According to keyboardist Chris Botarelli, the band's name does not mean anything special; it was a mere sugestion of vocalist Emily Barreto's mother that ended up pleasing the band members after they failed to reach an agreement.[2] At the same occasion, she also explained that the band don't see a problem at writing English lyrics since the public from Rio Grande do Norte (the band's home state) has been receiving it well.
In October 2012, the band released their first EP, Stereochrome, with four tracks. In may 2014, it was released their first album by Deckdisc, modeHuman, containing 15 tracks including four songs re-recorded from the EP.
In 2014, they played at the FIFA Fan Fest event in Natal, during the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

Far From Alaska Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Put salt on your wounds, try yourself, bleed a little more
Beware of everything, walls are listening to every step
Try not to think so loud
Your mind is haunted by every thought
Don't turn your back for no one, honey
You think you know them all, don't ya?
I can see you bleeding from the
It takes a long time to pull the knife from your back
But once you do, you are free
Watch your moves but let life take you there
Now it's time to understand that you're all alone
Say it loud, for you to hear that you're not afraid of the fear
You must go, you must run
Run until they all come undone
Chase your dreams, chase the sun
These things you couldn't do for anyone
Now it's time to understand that you're all alone in the world
Don't turn your back for no one, honey
You think you know them all, don't ya?
Don't trust no one, oh honey, honey
I can see you bleeding from the
Don't turn your back for no one, honey
You think you know them all, don't ya?
Don't trust no one, oh honey, honey
I can see you bleeding from the
The lyrics of Far From Alaska's song "About Knives" present a story of pain, betrayal, and self-discovery. The singer encourages the listener to deal with the pain they feel by either dismissing it or facing it head-on. The imagery of putting salt on your wounds and bleeding a little more portrays the idea that sometimes, to heal, we need to confront our pain and let it out. However, the singer also warns against being too vulnerable and trusting too easily. The walls are listening, and every step is being watched - this is a cautionary tale to be careful with whom we share our vulnerabilities. The line "it takes a long time to pull the knife from your back, but once you do, you are free" is a powerful metaphor for letting go of past hurts and moving on.
As the song progresses, the singer emphasizes the importance of taking control of our lives, chasing our dreams, and being unafraid of standing alone. These lines also carry a deeper message about the human condition - that ultimately, we are all alone in the world. We must learn to rely on ourselves, trust our instincts, and not be swayed by others' opinions. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, driving home the message of being cautious and self-reliant.
Overall, "About Knives" is a powerful anthem about finding strength in vulnerability and learning to walk our own paths, no matter how difficult it may seem.

Me apaixonei por essa banda desde a primeira vez que a ouvi (pelo clipe Dino vs. Dino). Seu estilo único, completamente eclético, experimental e alternativo me conquistaram de uma forma intensa, fazendo com que a cada videoclipe ou entrevista assistida minha admiração por vocês aumentasse mais e mais. Sim, vocês me conquistaram. Sou grande admirador de sci-fi, design gráfico e sons alternativos e pude ver claramente esses três elementos unidos nas músicas de vocês. Inigualável. Espero verdadeiramente vê-los em BH o quanto antes, seja em show solo ou num evento regional... A cidade vem ganhando um espaço para bandas de Stoner, festivais vêm sendo feitos voltados aos "sons do deserto". Seria ótimo vê-los por aqui. Mais que isso, esplêndido. Ah, espero também ouvir a doce voz da Emmily de perto e tirar uma foto com toda a banda! Vocês são demais, grande abraço e enorme sucesso a todos!

Hein Rick?
Ainda não entendo porque essas bandas da era de ouro do underground nacional não conseguem mais visibilidade na mídia.
Nightwalker Produções
Porra 230.000 views no youtube já é uma visualização bem massa!

Se você estiver falando da mídia nacional eu te devolvo a pergunta, que espaço?

Porque o povo brasileiro está cada vez mais ignorante. Quanto mais idiota menos bom gosto.
