Founded in 2011, Joliette has become a force in the Mexican scene, playing shows with the likes of Converge and Touché Amoré and releasing music via Zegema Beach Records. On the upcoming new album, Pérdidas Variables, the quartet takes the urgency of scene heroes like Saetia and Raein and laces it with the brooding, post-metal grandeur of Neurosis or Cult of Luna. Screaming in his native Spanish, Gastón Prado's earnest voice transcends language barriers, transmitting universal angst.
Announcing the new album last month, BrooklynVegan praised Joliette's "ability to fuse passion, aggression, and melody in classic-yet-fresh screamo fashion." The band has revealed that the album is a meditation on their home of Mexico City.
Of the new single, guitarist Juan Pablo Castillo states: "'Limítrofe' is about the feeling of living on the edge, both physically and emotionally. It captures that moment of uncertainty when you're caught between two spaces, unsure of where you stand. The lyrics reflect the tension that comes with being on the threshold of something new, yet also trapped in the pull of what’s familiar. It’s a track that wrestles with personal, societal, and even geographic boundaries, while asking the listener to consider where they belong and how they navigate that liminal space."
