Murcia’s Le Mur don’t ease you into “Porno“. The second single off their forthcoming EP “Bruto” — out March 25, 2026 via Spinda Records — opens as an uncomfortable sit-down with the kind of pressure women face daily: the demand to look a certain way, weigh a certain amount, buy the right cream, join the right gym. It’s blunt, and it’s supposed to be.
“We wanted to talk about that constant pressure to fit into an impossible mold. That feeling of living inside a glass cage that tightens a little more every single day.”
The track builds — spoken word sections fold into metallic surges, math-rock angles twist beneath post-rock breathing room. The band describes the escalation as conscious, physical even. “The song keeps growing in intensity because we needed the body to feel what the lyrics are saying: discomfort, anger, and finally, rupture.”
Lyrically, vocalist Elsa doesn’t dress things up. Lines cycle through iron deficiency and potassium, buying that cream that’ll supposedly fix everything, signing up for another gym membership — the whole consumer loop that feeds off insecurity. Then it breaks. “No quiero nada, solo un poco de espacio.” Just a bit of space. That shift from noise to quiet hits differently when the rest of the song has been closing in on you.
The video, filmed and edited by Willy Palazón of Radikal Libre in October 2025, takes the metaphor literally. Elsa appears trapped inside a shrinking glass structure — the walls pressing closer as the rhythm tightens. When it finally shatters, you get it.
Alongside the single, Le Mur put together a 20-track Spotify playlist mapping the records that fed directly into “Porno” during its writing. Not background music — more like an emotional blueprint. The band says each of those songs became part of the architecture of the track: the distorted riffs, the haunting vocal lines, the lyrics loaded with vulnerability or rage turned into a quiet dialogue with their own instincts. The playlist traces late-night listening sessions, moments of doubt, sudden breakthroughs. Grunge, post-punk, alternative rock — the kind of restless, shadowy stuff that leaves marks on whatever you’re making at the time.
“Porno” follows “Lapislázuli“, the EP’s first single released in January, which dealt with loss from a completely different angle — not as an open wound, but as something to sit with. As Elsa put it: “The end not as an open wound, but as an invitation to look at the scar with a smile.” Where “Lapislázuli” offered reflection and gratitude, “Porno” throws a chair through the window.
The full EP “Bruto” runs six tracks: “Porno”, “Ryo Tatsuki”, “Lapislázuli”, “Caballo ganador”, “ADVP” featuring Juan A. Soler ‘Kantz’ (of Delobos, Serpiente Orión, Salvaje Soler), and “Llaga” featuring Mireia Porto of Rosy Finch. Produced by the band alongside Santi García at Ultramarinos Costa Brava, with vocals tracked by Pepe Marsilla at MIA Studio in Murcia. Artwork by The Braves Church. Available on digital, CD, and limited clear turquoise vinyl via Spinda Records.
Le Mur — Elsa, Carlos, Pedro and Juan Carlos — have been at it since 2015. Three releases deep before this one: a self-titled debut, “El Brote” in 2017, and “Caelum Invictus” in 2023, which picked up Best Metal/Punk/Rock Album at the Premios Yepes de la Música Murciana. They’ve played Radio 3’s live sessions, shown up across RockZone, Ruta 66, and Mondo Sonoro. “Bruto” marks their first work with Spinda Records.
The band keeps moving between metal, punk, math, and post-rock without making a fuss about genre labels. That’s probably the most consistent thing about them — the refusal to simplify what they do into something neat and marketable.
“Porno” is a good example. It’s angry and delicate at the same time, and it doesn’t resolve cleanly. It just stops pressing.
