Buscabulla
Regresa
Album · Alternative · 2020
Following the two 2017 hurricanes that devastated Puerto Rico, this husband-and-wife duo felt a compelling desire to return home. Uprooting from their New York City lives, Buscabulla relocated to the island of their respective births and experienced myriad emotions, many of which drive this rich and riveting full-length debut recorded in Aguadilla. Rhythmically dense and poetically plotted, Regresa captures the range and depth of their decision, translating it into groovy post-punk and tropical synth-pop. “Vámono” kicks things off with a sense of urgency, leading swiftly to the breezy flows of “La Fiebre”. The trembling “Club Tú Y Yo” conveys their shared sense of loneliness felt amid the damage, while “Ta Que Tiembla” bursts with exponentially overwhelming danger and freedom.
