DMV-based Hispanic American rock band, Perro Sombra, bring on distorted psychedelia with the music video for their latest single “Algoritmos.”
Directed by Emmy-award-winner, Nestor Bravo, the video showcases a world policed by officers in large, off-putting dog masks (very fitting given the band’s name). We move between shots of the police dog roaming the streets and playing with the band, but every it goes there is a sense of urgency that follows close behind. With wild, swirling color pallets and trippy visual effects, its image blurs and transforms in weird ways that feel otherworldly.
Musically, the band neatly straddles the line between hard rock and metal. The choruses feel massive with stacked power chords and crashing cymbals, while the verses have more direct guitar lines that ebb and flow with the power of a riptide. Snarling vocals and shouts in their native Spanish language give the band a cultural edge that is both exciting and refreshing as they showcase their dynamic range and electrifying stage presence.
“Algoritmos” is available now on major streaming platforms. The accompanying music video is also available on YouTube.
