Mixing strings, zampoña (an Andean pan flute), smooth vocals and robotic production, the track is mesmerizing, taking you to a dark travel into the unknown. Based in Brooklyn and Puerto Rico, the band take the best of both cultures to create the perfect melting-pot of sounds. The experimentation is mastered and you’ll be completely transported thanks to the many layers of production.

Balún is a music project that was created in the San Juan indie scene by core members Angélica Negrón, Noraliz Ruiz and José Olivares a decade ago. The band is notably known for its music genre-blending. Indeed, the four-piece band combines shoegaze, dream pop, dem bow, chiptune, and traditional folk elements to create a genre that Remezcla dubbed “dreambow.” On their second album, “Prisma Tropical”, the sounds are particularly evoking the band’s homes and the distance between them.

Here is the first single “La Nueva Ciudad” which was premiered on September 9.
