Buscabulla "Se Amaba Así" LP (Clear Vinyl)

Acclaimed Puerto Rican indie duo Buscabulla is excited to announce the release of their long-awaited second studio album, Se Amaba Así, a raw and penetrating song cycle exploring the struggles and challenges of relationships in the modern world.

Se Amaba Así—which loosely translates to "The way they loved"—sees 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.

“I don’t like fantasy,” Berrios says. “I very much like to write about real life. If art isn’t about putting yourself in this vulnerable position, then what is the point of making it? Why do you want to make art from a safe place?”
