Watch Borracho’s blast forth with new video Vegas, Baby
In 2025, Borracho are set to deliver yet another sonic journey with the release of their upcoming sixth studio album LP “Ouroboros”. This new offering from the mighty trio explores the ancient alchemist concept of continuous transformation as applied to contemporary social ills. Track by track, Borracho take up consequential issues like mental illness, authoritarian brutality, automation, and the corruption of culture and paint a picture of humanity eating itself. And luckily for everyone, these tales are told with the kind of blistering, face-melting riffs the band has become known for. After the last two albums’ musical exploration into psychedelia, on “Ouroboros”, Borracho are saying it’s time to rock.
About the new single “Vegas, Baby”, the band comments: “Sin City could only be created by America. Where else is there a place dedicated to fostering addiction? Addiction to gambling and sex for hire but also to the very American materialistic lifestyle make people want to risk it all for a shot at the American Dream. But the house always wins. Inspired by our trip to Vegas last year, I observed so many different aspects of the human condition. So I decided to write the story of someone who wins big and lets it go to his head, because of his arrogance, he ends up losing everything and winds up on the street having to sell his body. It’s really a story of arrogance, ego and downfall.”
“Ouroboros” was produced by Borracho and Frank “The Punisher” Marchand, and recorded and mixed by Frank at Waterford Digital in Pasadena, MD. Mastered by Kent Stump at Crystal Clear Sound.
