Traumatismo Nacional by Sunset Images

Traumatismo Nacional is a sharp and deep wound represented in sound, a scar that we have carried inside for a long time and each time it hurts even more.

A deeply racist, misogynistic, violent and dark nation. People idolize monuments while despising women, the voices of their inhabitants are constantly ignored, and hopelessness has become our natural collective state of mind.

‘Musically falling somewhere between the repetitive diligence of krautrock, the tumultuous and noisier side of shoegaze, melted with post-punk dark atmospheres, Sunset Images is the brainchild project of Samuel Osorio, an Experimental/Noise Rock band based out of Mexico City.

Since it’s formation, Osorio has been unraveling the band ́s own voice, exploring with rhythmic, melodic loops and startling sound volumes, worshiping repetition, struggling with recurring line-up changes, and a never ending rotating cast of drum players.

In this daring journey, Sunset Images has become one of the most interesting discoveries in the Latin-America rising underground music scene for the display of passion and intensity, that has led them into traveling Japan, Europe, touring a great deal of America (the continent).

Sharing stages with notorious acts like Mogwai, Acid Mothers Temple, Bo Ningen and playing international festivals such as Spacefest (Gdansk, Poland) Integraciones (Lima, Peru) and Out in the Streets (New York City, USA).’
