    "comment": "“Olvidamos” is positioned as the opening track for Oscilador (scheduled for release January 23, 2026), and it functions like a thesis statement: direct, rhythmic, and morally charged. The lyrics are striking in their simplicity—short lines repeated like a chant, with “Olvidamos” (“We forget”) acting as accusation and confession at once. A brief excerpt captures the core: “Olvidamos, la sangre / Olvidamos, las vidas / Olvidamos, nuestra humanidad.” The power here is not metaphor; it is insistence. By repeating the phrase, the song mirrors the very mechanism it critiques—how forgetting becomes routine, how repetition can normalize harm. Sonically, Sunset Images present this message with force: dense guitars and bass that emphasize pressure, plus a vocal approach that feels urgent rather than decorative. The broader Oscilador framing also points toward a more structured, mechanically influenced direction in the band’s sound, which makes “Olvidamos” feel like a deliberate opening door into that world. If you want a track that is both cathartic and sharply political in its emotional effect, this is an effective entry.\u2028\n\nListen: https://sunsetimages.bandcamp.com/track/olvidamos",
