Pumuky
No Sueltes El Efimero
The 5th album by the brothers Ramirez behind Pumuky, titled 'No Sueltes Lo Efímero' (Don't Let Go of the Ephemeral). It has been 10 years since they released a full-length album, though they were never idle during this time. Pumuky also have an extensive live history, having played in Europe and Latin America, with appearances at major festivals such as Primavera Sound, WOMAD, and the Mexican NRMAL. 'No Sueltes Lo Efímero is released through Keroxen, a collective that, in addition to being a platform and label for the best of the Canary Islands' underground scene, organises a small, unique music festival inside a giant abandoned kerosene tank in Santa Cruz de Tenerife - an event that has already garnered praise worldwide. In 'No Sueltes Lo Efímero,' Pumuky return to their signature sound, although they have never completely abandoned it: an abrasive slowcore with controlled crescendos and raw, unfiltered lyrics, sometimes bordering on the intensity of dirty shoegaze, at other times leaning into dream-pop passages, but always with the unique stamp that has characterised them from the start. A rare breed, difficult to categorise, Pumuky write songs as if performing escape tricks.
