Argentine post-punk quartet Buenos Vampiros reveal two dramatically different sides of their forthcoming fourth album, El último disparo, ahead of a European tour beginning this month.
Buenos Vampiros are widening the scope of their sound with “Mundo Raro” and “Morir en Mi Tierra,” a double single that previews the Mar del Plata quartet’s forthcoming album El último disparo, arriving this September via Spinda Records.
Produced by the band alongside Estanislao López, the two songs approach their shared emotional landscape from opposite directions. “Mundo Raro” attacks with raw punk momentum, channeling frustration with an increasingly inhospitable world through serrated guitars and simmering anger. It’s immediate and confrontational, pushing Buenos Vampiros’ post-punk instincts toward their most combustible edge.
“Morir en Mi Tierra” strips that intensity away. Inspired by a poem from Palestinian writer Fadwa Tuqan, the track replaces electric guitars with bombo legüero and cello, creating a sparse setting for ideas of identity, belonging and loss. The result reveals a quieter dimension of a band more commonly associated with the intersection of post-punk, dream pop and new wave.
Together, the songs provide a useful map of El último disparo. Rather than choosing between abrasion and atmosphere, Buenos Vampiros allow both to occupy the same world, giving the upcoming record room for punk urgency, melancholy and more contemplative songwriting.
Formed in Mar del Plata in 2018, Buenos Vampiros consist of Ignacio Perrotta and Irina Tuma on guitars and vocals, Luana Giobellina on bass and backing vocals, and Mora Murguet on drums. Their rise through Argentina’s alternative scene has taken them to Primavera Sound Buenos Aires and venues including Movistar Arena and Niceto Club, alongside extensive touring throughout Latin America and Europe.
That international momentum continues this fall. Beginning September 12, Buenos Vampiros will embark on a European tour spanning Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, Poland and Italy through October 17.
With El último disparo approaching, “Mundo Raro” and “Morir en Mi Tierra” suggest a record comfortable finding beauty on both sides of the noise.
