THE GARDEN OF EARTHLY DELIGHTS
The strangest and most improbable things can germinate in Les Fleurs (du Mal)'s garden. Guitars cultivated in Punk, serpentine keyboards, literary influences, gothic shadows, spontaneous psychedelic ravings, a Pythonesque humor… All with a certain eighties smell. Are you feeling lost? Here you found a home.
Pandora's Pussy (2012)
Lyrics based on poems by Mateus Machado
Pandora's Pussy is a reimagining of the Pandora project. Now a quartet, Les Fleurs (du Mal) took advantage of the absence of a bassist and a drummer to explore electronic sounds.

The first idea was bring it all together: the new vwrsions, the original one (now titled Pandora's Demo), a booklet with data from the project, Mateus' poems and the lyrics in English. The poet even began a textual project that included a presentation of the work, those involved (written by Mateus) and comments on each track (by Mateus and Les Fleurs). This material remains unheard of. The recordings have already reached streaming services as two brothers albums: Pandora's Demo and Pandora's Pussy. André, Richard, Reginaldo and Daiane participated in the recordings. The poet Mateus Machado played sitar in In Memoriam.

With the end of this project, the band goes through changes in its line-up again. Daiane went to study music at Unicamp. Magrão returned and left once more. During this period, Caio took over the bass. This formation started to rescue old compositions and test new ideas, but it was short-lived. André, Reginaldo and Richard find a new drummer: Danilo Vieira. Nilton Raganin, who participated in the recordings ofDancing on the Bottleneck, takes the bass. The rehearsals of this formation were fruitful and indicated a new, more organic direction. However, due to personal issues, Danilo left the band.
