The band's first album, Cai o Carmo e a Trindade, was released in May 2011, and reached the top of Portuguese sales charts soon after.[3] The second album, Яevolução, was released on 21 October 2013.[4]

Amor Electro were nominated for the MTV Europe Music Award for Best Portuguese Act at the 2012 and at the 2012 MTV Europe Music Awards.[1]
