Tormentas Malsanas by Las Nubes

Miami summer has two extremes: one minute it’s sunny and sweltering hot, and the next, it’s tempestuous winds and pouring rain. And this polarity has a tendency to control people’s moods. Las Nubes, the ever-evolving Miami-based rock project led by Ale Campos and Emile Milgrim, has learned how to weather it all.

Tormentas Malsanas, or “unhealthy storms,” is a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the reality of living through Miami summers. Similar to the way a clear day turns gray with the threat of inclement weather, Tormentas Malsanas addresses common and uncommon struggles — from the difficulties of starting a family as a female musician and the pains of getting older without a lucid understanding of where you’re going to Covid depression and the desire to stand up against injustice in a productive way — through the energetic buoyancy of Las Nubes’s trademark loud as hell, garage pop sound. The heavy emotions addressed through the lyrics crossed with their vibrant and dynamic instrumental arrangements give the album a sense of hopefulness that reminds listeners: even the most turbulent moments don’t last forever.
