Description
Acclaimed Puerto Rican indie duo Buscabulla release their long-awaited second studio album, Se Amaba Así, featuring the first single, “El Camino.” “El Camino” is the incendiary opening track on Se Amaba Así, a raw and penetrating song cycle exploring the struggles and challenges of relationships in the modern world.

“‘El Camino’ is a dramatic disco guitar track about coming to a crossroads in a relationship and getting lost traveling through the uncharted, dark territories of life,” says Buscabulla’s Raquel Berrios. “We wanted to achieve a cinematic sound to open up the movie that is our new record.   ""We took the decided approach to turn inward, to ourselves, and explore the struggles of not only our own romantic relationship but romantic relationships in general. Wrestling between traditional versus modern ideas of love, Se Amaba Así is a cathartic, self-reflective journey of songs influenced by Latin and tropical genres of the past seen through a contemporary lens.""

Se Amaba Así – which loosely translates to The Way They Loved – sees Buscabulla co-founders Raquel Berrios and Luis Del Valle devoting their eagerly awaited second album to the ruthless examination of their private life as a couple, instrumentalizing myriad strains of Latin music to explore their most intimate struggles as both artists and lovers. From the neo-doowop of “Mi Marido” to the distorted guitars of “Mortal,” the album pushes the duo’s shared sonic world through dark synthesizers, witchy vocal loops, and the sharp snap of live percussion to create a singularly universal record about the difficulties inherent in keeping a relationship alive at this moment in time.
