Yves formed in Rio de Janeiro around 2015 as a four-piece indie rock band with Pedro Lobo on vocals and rhythm guitar, Rafael Macedo on lead guitar, Leonardo Costa on bass, and Rodrigo Medeiros on drums. Their early work had a straightforward indie rock feel with some Brazilian folk touches, heard on their self-titled 2016 debut and the 2017 follow-up 'Tempestade.'
Songs like 'Sorriso de Amor' and 'Melhor Segredo' show their knack for melodic hooks wrapped around lyrics that lean toward personal reflection.
By 2020's 'Nuvens,' they'd started folding in more electronic textures and psychedelic elements alongside their rock foundation. The record includes tracks like 'Pra Dizer' and 'Ser Forte' that keep their melodic core while letting the arrangements breathe a bit more. They've stayed active in Brazil's indie scene without pushing a grand narrative about their place in it.
