Órfãs by A/C Repair School
A/C Repair School is Rafael de Toledo Pedroso (they/them, he/him) and Carolina Simionato (she/her). Rafa is a Gr collective member and lives in Paraná, Brazil and Carol aka Soft Verges lives in Hamburg, Germany but is also originally from Brazil. Órfãs, the debut from A/C Repair School, is a bittersweet reflection on abandonment, with beautifully melancholic lyrics and a dirty instrumentation. The duo blends themes of feeling out of place with aggressive and experimental melodies and textures making the album an authentic and unique experience as punk as it is dreamy.
Artists receive 75% of all proceeds of digital only sales. The remaining 25% supports Grimalkin's label and mutual aid fund and helps us towards sustaining our work.
Artists requested that tape proceeds go to Gr's label and mutual aid fund. Lathes also go back to that fund since we break even if they all sell.
