Kamikaze

There's something in the raw energy of Kamikaze Cocksucker that grabs you from the first moment. It's not just a song; it's a direct discharge, with a concise runtime of 2 minutes and 30 seconds that offers no respite. The way it's built, with that intensity that seems to come from an immediate impulse, makes you think of the spontaneity of the moment it was conceived. It's as if the band, Airbag, had decided to capture an idea without overthinking it, seeking that direct impact that resonates.

This piece is part of Al parecer todo ha sido una trampa, the Argentinians' seventh studio work, released in 2021 under the PopArt Discos label. This album marked a considerable pause, as five years had passed since their previous album, Mentira la verdad. The presentation of Al parecer todo ha sido una trampa was an important event, with several nights at the Teatro Gran Rex and tours that crossed borders. What's interesting about this album is that Airbag included collaborations for the first time, such as that of Enanitos Verdes on Volver a casa, and it also includes tracks like Perdido and Pensamientos, which add to the album's sonic proposal. The image accompanying this work is the Ángel de la Independencia, a visual detail that dialogues with the strength of the songs.
