Sound & Aesthetic
Disipar El Ser is built on a foundation of distortion and emotional urgency. Think crushing shoegaze walls of sound, pierced by moments of dreamy clarity, post-hardcore dynamics, and sweeping post-rock build-ups. There’s a rawness in the performances that refuses to be polished away—every track feels lived in, screamed through, and lifted by atmosphere.
Andrea Elvira and Rodrigo Aldana’s vocals move between melodic softness and explosive release, offering emotional contrasts that mirror the shifting sonic terrain. Guitar work is thick, cathartic, and richly layered, while the rhythm section alternates between punishing and poetic.
Themes & Mood
Lyrically and sonically, the EP confronts themes of identity, inner fracture, emotional violence, and healing. Disipar El Ser is not about finding peace—it’s about surviving the storm, letting the self fragment, and embracing the noise left behind. It’s vulnerable, volatile, and fiercely alive.
The mood is turbulent but controlled. Like standing in a wind tunnel of feeling—anger, loss, resolve—blown apart and somehow made whole again through the act of expression.
Critical Response
Disipar El Ser has turned heads in the Latin American underground scene for its bold fusion of genres and fearless emotional intensity. Critics and fans alike have praised WAYYS for pushing shoegaze into heavier, more confrontational territory without losing the dreamlike melancholy that defines the genre. It’s a bold, cathartic, and unforgettable debut from a band unafraid to burn through every layer of the soul.
