Rising Barcelona-born, London-based artist Eterna recently signed to section1, who released his attention grabbing label debut “Perfect Comms,” and its follow up “Whatever Reason,” an eerie, post-punk-meets-shoegaze-like take on goth that saw the him weaving murky, reverb-soaked guitar distortion with lyrical themes that touch upon modern isolation, apathy and ephemeral romance — with a frustration and despair that feels all too familiar.
The Spanish-born, British-based artist’s highly anticipated sophomore studio album Debunker is slated for a January 31, 2025 release. The forthcoming album’s lead single “Highbury Grunge” continues a run of eerie and off-kilter material that’s simultaneously alien and familiar. Anchored around distorted layers of chugging, reverb-drenched acoustic and electric guitars and industrial clang and clatter, the slow-burning “Highbury Grunge” serves as a brooding and woozy bed for the rising Spanish-born, British-based artist’s imitably distracted and detached delivery.
Directed by Really Sorry, the accompanying video is shot in black and white, and through a series of split screens, follows Eterna as he wanders around suburban London — sometimes with an unsettling and uncomfortably close close up. The video further evokes the woozy and brooding nature of the song.
