The first single from Brain's brand new 'Trastorno EP' on Sofa Sound Bristol is a fully catchy groover alongside the unmistakable vocals of Manchester's Vispera.

"Trastorno EP" is a bold exploration of disorder and resilience, drawing from the raw intensity of punk and the relentless rhythms of drum and bass. The title, rooted in the Spanish word for "disorder," reflects the chaos of modern existence—psychological struggles, societal disarray, and the turbulence of identity in a fractured world.

The EP channels the artist’s roots, weaving cultural heritage into the sonic landscape. Traditional Latin American rhythms and emotional textures subtly emerge, reimagined through a punk-inspired lens of defiance and individuality. It’s a testament to the struggle of holding onto one’s identity while adapting to new realities, creating a bridge between past and present, tradition and rebellion.

Emotionally, "Trastorno EP" is a cathartic release—an expression of frustration, hope, and transformation. Socially, it shines a light on human fragility and the resilience needed to navigate inequality, mental health, and cultural displacement. Each track serves as both a personal manifesto and a collective call to reflect, adapt, and find harmony amidst chaos.
