Mexican’s Los Blenders previous their third studio album Mazunte 2016 (due out Sept. 25) with its title track, which is soaked in the bouncy pop-rock of the ’60s. The Coapa punk surf quartet, fronted by Alejandro Archundia, who’s also on guitar, prowl through the coasts of Mazunte in Oaxaca, Mexico in a music clip shot in Super 8. They’re in search of a parallel world when things were simpler and life gasped on cleaner air.
Tijuana band Vaya Futuro’s “Talión” relative obscurity is portrayed through a cinematic music video directed by Marco Mangas, a collage of turquoise-tinted imagery as the base of the clip, perhaps a comparison to the voluble movement of water, a parallelism to human motion and its emotional ebb and flow. The song throbs on melancholic pulsations, on a brew of dark feelings where revenge is its main character.
La banda mexicana El Shirota anticipa el próximo Tiempos Raros de la banda, programado para el 12 de junio, con la paliza “La Ciudad”. Producida por el conjunto de cuatro miembros y mezclada por el bajista David Lemus, la melodía de rock alternativo es una línea recta de regreso a los años 90 con sus rasgueos de guitarra distorsionados, letras cambiantes y un ambiente de agog general, que inevitablemente empuja al oyente a un hoyo pegajoso.
