Juanjo: La Madre Tirana returns with rhythm on her new single ‘Alaska’

Tarquino José Orellana has led the Cuenca group La Madre Tirana (@la_madre_tirana) since its inception a little over five years ago, being its main composer and vocalist during the three albums of the band and its entire career. Now, La Madre publishes the third single of this 2021 as a preview of an upcoming studio work, this song is titled Alaska.

Available on digital distribution platforms since last Friday, it also has a video directed by Chris Díaz (@endlesscassette), in which the aforementioned leader stands out interpreting the song with a dynamic of lights very much in line with what the theme transmits with his mighty synths and influences new wave that bring warm eighties breezes.

Alaska It was produced, mixed and mastered by Santiago Salazar (@santiagosalazarsound), who was in charge of giving the mix excellent nuances, which allow a detailed appreciation of the various instrumental layers and the distinguished voice of Tarquino, who in this song provides more delicacy and evokes a nostalgia typical of the city of Cuenca.

Although the most prevalent of this song are the synthesizers, it has discreet guitar arrangements that give it a variety of sounds, as well as a drums that end up giving it that identity. indie pop. Without a doubt, it is worth mentioning that the lyrical composition is pure poetry, something that has been characteristic of La Madre Tirana throughout her career. The phrase “I hate the climate of this city” becomes a more than memorable refrain. Surely I dare to say that it could become part of the lingo of the fans of independent national music. As these young artists get ready for their fourth studio album, they leave high expectations on their fans and the collective ear.

I hope that national music continues in constant production of quality projects and that these projects always have the necessary diffusion. Let nothing ever stop music or art. (O)
