magnólia (styled lowercase) are a São Paulo, Brazil band, now a five-piece: Caru Frascaroli (vocals, keys), Fábio Shiguemori (lead guitar), Davi Scarpa (bass), Luccas Leme (rhythm guitar), Maya Soares (drums); the project began as Frascaroli's solo endeavour. "ternura e violência" (1:32) is the title track and opener of the band's fourth album, released 4 September 2026 (5 September in the US Apple Music store) on +um Hits — the first recorded with the new five-piece lineup. Frascaroli said hearing Your Arms Are My Cocoon's album death of a rabbit "finally" showed him how to merge the project's separate lo-fi/indie-folk and screamo strands. The band cites Beforeyouleave, Frail Body, Circa Survive, Starry Cat, Teen Suicide, The Michophones and George Harrison as influences. Drummer Maya Soares said the record addresses politics, work exhaustion, transport, gender violence and prejudice in Brazil alongside love, friendship, nostalgia and mental health. The album cover is by Caru with photography by Laura Reis.
