Outerloop’s latest single, “Huracán,” unleashing this Nov 10, delivers a visceral and impactful listening experience, combining Marty Reisemberg’s thunderous drums, dark and gritty guitar jams, and Taisha Estrada’s powerful vocals. The song, recorded and mixed by Erik Grimm at Kreeger Studio and mastered by Jamal Ruhe of Listen Up Mastering, sheds light on the issue of displacement, particularly in Puerto Rico.
“Huracán” kicks off with Marty Reisemberg’s blaring drums, setting a dynamic and intense tone from the start. The driving and gnarly guitar riffs, skillfully played by Erik Sleight on bass, create a dark and gritty backdrop that complements the thematic weight of the lyrics. The melodic electric guitars add depth and dimension, tuning behind Taisha Estrada’s powerful vocals with precision.
Speaking of Taisha Estrada’s vocals, they stand out with their full-throttle and intimidating delivery, which sends chills down the spine. It perfectly captures the urgency and emotion of the song’s narrative. The storytelling is perfected by the English-speaking voice representing the oppressor, and the Spanish-speaking voice representing the people. The build-up verses, creeping into the listener’s soul, contribute to the intensity of the overall musical arrangement. “Huracán” becomes a powerful piece of social commentary showcasing the neglect of the systems towards the communities they are entrusted with.
“Huracán” by Outerloop blends intense instrumentation with meaningful storytelling. As the cry for justice propels in the final chorus, the song illustrates how revolt must be carried out.
