Downtown Boys Release Latest Track “Sirena” for Fans to Hear
Downtown Boys are on the brink of releasing their upcoming album, Public Luxury, marking their first full-length project since 2017’s Cost Of Living. With the recent releases of “No Me Jodas” and “You’re A Ghost,” the band now presents “Sirena” as their latest offering.
“A sirena brings together both earthly and divine concepts that drive, move, and call us to action beyond ourselves,” reflects Victoria Marie. She elaborates on the theme of a sirena, a term often translated from Spanish to English as “mermaid.” It embodies a guiding force that transcends gravity, drawing individuals to a space where desire for universal freedom meets the harsh reality of the work that lies ahead. The accompanying video, directed by Sarah Elawad, brilliantly captures archival footage that transforms the mundane passing of time into a captivating visual narrative. In essence, “Sirena” serves as a reminder that each of us possesses a guiding light in the form of a person, idea, dream, or precious gem that illuminates the darkness around us.
The lyrics of the song pay tribute to this mystical guiding force, encompassing themes of divinity, beauty, and truth. “La gema, La joya, Divina, Preciosa,” the lyrics resonate with a sense of awe and reverence. They speak of waves that never deceive and eyes that do not lie, hinting at a profound connection and unwavering faith in the presence of the siren. The line, “Ya tenía en la mente, Hacia atrás al frente,” conveys a sense of longing and direction, evoking a journey that transcends time and space.
Public Luxury, scheduled for release on 6/26 under Sub Pop, promises to be a captivating continuation of Downtown Boys’ unique blend of punk energy and social commentary.
