Just got introduced to them. I think they're unbelievable. Can anyone recommend anything, or tell me more 'bout 'em?

"Psychedelic glam-folk, with convincingly androgyne vocals by Ney Matogrosso. Vocally, he sounds a lot like Rita Lee, and I mean that it the best way... Os Mutantes fans should really get off on these records. What else can I say? This is cool. Some of the best Brazilian rock I've heard yet, with sly wisps of acoustic folk, forro and space rock skillfully woven together. Highly recommended! (Re-released as a 2-in-1 set: Warner, 1999)"

Rita Lee, Mutantes lead singer, is an American. More: http://www.southamericanway.com/osmutantes.html and http://www.slipcue.com/music/brazil/ritalee.html

She went on to an extremely successful solo career, and hosts a totally wacky talk show on Brazilian TV.
