    "comment": "“Conurbeach” feels like a scene report from the outskirts—surf imagery filtered through suburban sprawl, where the “beach” is more attitude than geography. The song’s strength is its indie/alt-rock momentum: it carries forward with a tight rhythm and a melodic line that suggests irony and affection at the same time. There’s an everyday realism in the title—conurbation life reframed as something you can mythologize, even if it’s messy. The arrangement favors clarity: you can hear the structure and the movement, with guitars that alternate between clean drive and slightly rougher edges as emphasis points. Even without overloading the production, the track implies a DIY ethos—songs built in rooms with friends, where the goal is feeling and precision rather than polish for its own sake. As part of the band’s EP context, “Conurbeach” reads like a statement of place: not merely “where we’re from,” but “how we process where we’re from.” If you’re programming music that connects Argentine indie, punk-adjacent energy, and a touch of beach-pop irony, this track fits neatly because it’s accessible while still grounded in a distinct local texture.\u2028\n\nListen: https://laprimeraespecie.bandcamp.com/album/la-primera-especie-ep",
