Balvanera is the project of Agustina Vizcarra and Lucas Palavecino from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Since 2016, the duo has been building a sonic narrative that moves between the corporeal and the spectral, exploring waves and minimal synth as well as more intense and rhythmic directions closer to Body music, all while sharing the stage with artists such as Clan of Xymox, Boy Harsher, Die Selektion, Kontravoid, NNHMN and Ashcode.

Their new album arrives as an attempt to push expression to the limit, focused on language and sound as expressive forms. With all tracks sung in Spanish, the album is a declaration of identity and at the same time an exercise with Spanish itself: how to play with a language that sometimes feels baroque and turn it into something stark while retaining its richness. 

Musically direct, the album occasionally returns to some minimalism reminiscent of the band's early releases while preserving the intensity and club-oriented feel of their later work. At times intensifying in speed, the record brings the energy of their live performances to visibility, while other tracks feel like an unsettlingly dreamlike atmosphere. The title – meaning Until Touching the Empty Bottom of Language - borrowed from a fragment of Arturo Carrera’s poem Escrito con un nictógrafo, offers a clue to Balvanera’s nocturnal sensibility: those thoughts and images that can only emerge in the sleepless hours of the night, when they reach their most revealing edge. 

“Hasta tocar el fondo vacío del lenguajen” explores death as something hidden within language while allowing each track to find its own form rather than adhering to genre conventions.
