O Quarto das Cinzas (Bedroom of Ashes) hails from the northeastern Brazilian state of Ceará. Singer-actress Laya Lopes fronts the trio who describe their sound as a result of the influences of electronica, Brazilian, experimental, rock, poetry, fine arts and dance. Guitarist Carlos Eduardo also handles programming and bassist Raphael Haluli completes the group. Lopes' impressionistic, introspective lyrics float over ethereal electronica punctuated by urgent electric guitar riffs.

In 2007 the band relocated to São Paulo to grow their music and their national audience. They have a released an independent EP titled "A Chave (The Key)" and are working on a full-length album that will include English lyrics for international release in 2008.
