Mexico City screamo band Joliette announce new LP, share “Nimbus”

Mexico City screamo greats Joliette have announced a new album, Pérdidas Variables, due June 20 via Persistent Vision Records (pre-order). About the album, guitarist Juan Pablo Castillo says, “It’s a meditation on Mexico City, as both a physical space and a psychological one, a place constantly shifting under your feet, full of layers, ruins, and noise. The lyrics are rooted in very real fears, earthquakes, collapse, systems failing, but they’re also about the quiet, daily sense of disconnection and mourning that urban life can bring. Each song looks at a different fragment of that experience.”

The first single is “Nimbus,” which is a great example of Joliette’s ability to fuse passion, aggression, and melody in classic-yet-fresh screamo fashion. “‘Nimbus’ explores the quiet, almost hypnotic beauty of a rainy night in the city,” Castillo says. “It’s about how the rain blurs the line between the external world and the internal, creating a sense of isolation and introspection. The song captures that moment when the city feels both distant and close, as the rain transforms the landscape into something dreamlike. It’s a meditation on the passage of time, memories, and how everything seems to fade into a soft, gray atmosphere.”
