The group features in their discography an EP ("self-titled" released in 2014), the first full album ("Lado Turvo, Lugares Inquietos", released in 2016) and the latest release, the second album "O Cão de Toda Noite", released in October 2019. Over the span of six years since Maquinas was formed, its songs and performances have caught the attention and triggered the curiosity of new listeners outside Fortaleza.
The release of the first album led the band to make their first tour in the northeast (in 2016) and southeast regions of Brazil (in 2017), as well as having received invitations to perform in important venues of the Brazilian alternative music scene, having performed, for example, at the Feira da Música (2016), Maloca Dragão Festival (2017 and 2018) and at the São Paulo Cultural Center/CCSP (2018). With the recent release of their second album, the band now plans to be able to perform even more in 2020, and in even more diverse venues inside and outside the country.

Maquinas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
vai lembrar?
não há nada.
não há ninguém aqui.
e a luz começava a cair de novo,
mas não era dia nem era noite.
e enquanto a chuva escorria pelas escadas,
as ruas vazias começavam a tremer,
e as sirenes ecoavam de longe,
mas nunca realmente amanhecia.
eu tentava gritar,
mas minha voz
havia desaparecido.
ninguém ali existia,
mas ninguém acreditava em mim.
será que alguém
vai lembrar?
não há nada.
não há ninguém aqui.
In "Zolpidem," Maquinas paints a desolate and isolating picture of a stormy night in which the singer is completely alone. The lyrics begin with the singer questioning if anyone will even remember them, which sets the tone for the rest of the song. They go on to describe the scene unfolding around them, with the light fading and rain pouring down the stairs. Despite the chaos of the elements, time seems to have stopped. The streets are empty and even the sirens can only be heard from far away.
The singer's desperation becomes more apparent as they mention trying to scream but finding their voice gone. They are completely alone, but no one seems to believe them. The lyrics leave the listener with an overwhelming sense of loneliness and hopelessness. It is as if the singer is trapped in a dream or nightmare, unable to escape their own thoughts and fears.

mano, essa banda MERECE mais reconhecimento, de vdd. só som maravilhoso, nunca abandonou a essencia de um blues e rock indie alternativo (na minha percepção). a música faz vc viajar, é um som realmente presente e cada instrumento tem seu papel sem sobrepor os outros... maravilhoso apenas, espero que consigam o reconhecimento que merecem, de verdade!! abraços de São Paulo🖤
