Following the band's 2006 reunion at London's Barbican Theatre, Mutantes founder Sergio Dias commenced work on Mutantes' first studio album in 35 years. Dias collaborated with Tom Zé and Jorge Ben (who wrote the band's original hit "A Minha Menina").[1]
Living the conception and birth of this album, as an individual, was the most intense experience, for it was as if time has ceased to exist, and I was bouncing from life to life, decades through decades, revisiting myself as a 16 year old boy playing guitar and feeling so free and, as any teenager, indestructible.
The word "haih" means "crow" in the Shoshone language. "Amortecedor" means "shock absorber" in Portuguese.

A reviewer identified as Mojo, writing for Lead World Music Review, summarized, "Gloriously nonsensical and beautifully out there, this is a joyful triumph, 4 out of 5".[11]
