The video for Agua Y Tierra, taken from Petrolio’s new EP Club Atletico, is out today. Directed by Petrolio, it is a composition of images which recall the gloomy and anxious atmosphere of the detention centres established in Argentina during the Dirty War in order to torture political dissenters.
The EP, inspired by Marco Bechis’ movies on the Dirty War, was released on March 5 via Depths Records and is named after one of the detention centres established by the Argentine dictatorial regime. The 4 tracks explore the tragedies and tortures carried out in the name of the regime inside the detention centres and translate the obsessed atmosphere of the centres into the sonic landscape.
