about

'Sombra' a mysterious dembow meets synthpop anthem, delves into the intricate dynamics of desire and disenchantment within a passionate relationship. It oscillates between darkness and light, manifesting the contrasting emotions of fear and excitement that emerge when venturing beyond one’s comfort zone.

Ethereal bells, whistles, and trance sequences seamlessly intertwine with industrial percussion sounds and the rumble of the dembow beat. Combined with Talisto’s deep singing and verses of romantic fragility, this track offers a window into an unparalleled musical universe.

The accompanying music video, directed by Emilia Martín and Thomas Woodroffe in collaboration with audiovisual artist Ce Pams, unfolds against the backdrop of overlooks and abandoned locations in the Basque Country. Using black and white photography, it seamlessly weaves together the stark contrasts between shadows and brightness, effectively translating the song’s title and lyrics by delving into the myth of Narcissus. It also pays homage to the experimental cinema of the 1920s and draws inspiration from iconic music videos of the '80s and '90s (think Maya Deren, Fritz Lang, Sade, and Anton Corbijn). The video was produced by FIRME and CÉFIRO.

lyrics

Se hace tarde y tus ojos ven lo que
Yo también veo (lo que tú ves)
Distancias acortándose
Cada vez más cerca de tu piel

Tú me miras y esos ojos intensos
Me queman

Y me dicen lentamente qué es lo que hay que hacer

Para que uses de mis sombras
Y tomes de mi boca
Y uses de mi sombra
Pero no abuses de mi voluntad

Quieres que me quede
Yo quiero que te vayas

Y nos cae la teja
Estamos hechos para esto

Las luces en las calles
Van iluminando esta tormenta
Que se convierte en un carrusel

Y al amanecer
Ya no queda más que
Esconderme en tu valle central

Para que uses de mis sombras
Y tomes de mi boca
Y uses de mi sombra
Pero no abuses de mi voluntad

Para que uses de mis sombras
Y tomes de mi boca
Y uses de mi sombra
Pero no abuses de mi voluntad
