The band was idealized by Almeida, a cultural agitator in Rio de Janeiro’s independent scene, most known through his label Transfusão Noise Records. The band came together during improvisonal jam sessions they had at Escritório, an underground creative and community space they all frequented in Brazil.  In 2019, Oruã was discovered by indie rock legend Doug Martsch of Built to Spill, which led to him inviting Lê and João to become temporary members of the 90’s indie rock band. Later they recorded, co-produced, and co-mixed Built to Spill’s most recent album, When the Wind Forgets Your Name, released in 2022 on Sub Pop Records. Slacker LP by Oruã is out now via K.
