Sacos Plásticos (Plastic bags) is the thirteenth studio album released by Brazilian rock band Titãs. It is their first studio album since 2003, their longest non-album gap, and also the first released through Arsenal Music and with producer Rick Bonadio, who had already worked with Fresno, Charlie Brown Jr. and NX Zero. The album has significant influence from electronic elements.[1]

It is the last album to feature drummer Charles Gavin, as well as the first album since Televisão in which he isn't credited for songwritting and composing.

The first single from the album, "Antes de Você", was featured at Caras & Bocas (a Rede Globo telenovela) soundtrack, and received radio airplay on May 7.[2] The second single, "Porque Eu Sei que É Amor", was also featured at a Globo's telenovela: Cama de Gato.

The track "Deixa Eu Sangrar" was written by keyboardist and vocalist Sérgio Britto about his mother, who died in 2007.[3]

The album won the 2009 Latin Grammy Award of Best Brazilian Rock Album, sharing it with Agora by NX Zero.[4]

Recording

The album was recorded at Estúdio Midas, in São Paulo.[1] For the first time, Sérgio Britto played the bass guitar.[1]

40 songs were composed during the recording of Sacos Plásticos, but only 14 were featured on the album.[1] Among these tracks, there are two partnerships: one with Andreas Kisser from Sepultura, who had already worked with Titãs in the song "Brasileiro" (from the album Domingo); and another with Arnaldo Antunes (ex-member) and Liminha (ex-producer).
