    "comment": "“Santiago II” is a new 2026 single release—formal rollout, one-track drop, with official video support and active platform presence. The title suggests a sequel or second chapter, which is useful because it frames the song as continuation: a return to a place, a feeling, or a narrative thread that wasn’t finished the first time. With limited long-form interviews or track notes surfaced in mainstream sources, the most accurate approach is to lean on what is verifiable: the song is positioned as a current single, and the band’s presentation emphasizes a post-punk leaning aesthetic—tight, moody, and structured for repeat listening. In that framework, “Santiago II” reads as city-music: nocturnal, tense, and emotionally contained rather than openly sentimental. Post-punk works best when it turns restraint into force, and a sequel title often implies exactly that—memory revisited with sharper edges. In programming terms, the track is a strong contemporary marker to place alongside Latin American post-punk and darkwave, especially if you want to highlight what is happening right now rather than leaning on classics. It functions well as a mid-set pivot: modern, direct, and built for momentum.\u2028\n\nListen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCqSM7FLmME",
