'Outsides' is a very different track to the glitchy post punk of last single ‘Ráfaga’. 'Outsides' begins with encapsulating, droning electronics and hushed vocals, but its immersive ambience is interrupted by a cacophony of repetitious guitar fuzz that takes the listener to a different realm to where they started. 'Outsides' is another example of J. Zunz's originality in her expressions of sound – incredible stuff.
Watch the video for 'Outsides' made by Mexican artist Víctor Garay exclusively via Backseat Mafia:

'Del Aire' is available to preorder from Bandcamp on Ltd Edition 'Yellow vinyl':
-
Recorded in a vociferously windy area of Enseneda, Mexico, where Lorena spent a strict lockdown, ‘Del Aire’ exorcises the troubles she encountered during the period, in the process creating both what she describes as a “continuity and discontinuity” from ‘Hibiscus’, and extracting a similar, yet fresh strain of emotional complexity.
Through the mellifluous repetition, the cathartic buzzsaw moments and the elemental force of the album’s conceptual core, ‘Del Aire’ acts as an intimate echo chamber vicariously healing the listener’s wounds besides Lorena’s own.
