Sístole unveils new single “Otro Giro”
Argentinean rockers Sístole have shared a new song and music video, “Otro Giro“. Watch the Impluvium Producciones & Nico Vega-directed clip below.
“Otro Giro” was composed and produced by the band’s bassist, Fernando Raiz. Ernesto Aldaz handled mixing and mastering. The filming took place at Impluvium Producciones’ headquarters, a production company based in the city centre of Rosario, Argentina.
Fernando Raiz shares: “Otro Giro” is about how words are often just noise, distortion, a waste of time and energy, a damage to human relationships. The song proposes to turn the screw, to leave the noise aside, to return to the arena with more enthusiasm than before and to try something different. This also applies to the musical and relational aspects of the band“.
The musician adds: “Stylistically, the bass riff was the trigger for the song, followed almost spontaneously by the vocal verse and finally the chorus. The ‘producer/composer’s handbook’ would say that it lacks a C-part, a variation, but we liked it that way, direct and powerful. The song didn’t ask for anything else”.
“Otro Giro” begins with Fernando Raiz distorting his bass a la Royal Blood. At the same time, drummer Elio ‘Pollo’ Chies sets the rhythm robustly and effectively, giving way to the powerful voice of frontman Diego ‘Pepe’ Robertazzo, which takes on a melodic and attractive nuance in the chorus.
Sístole was born in 2012 in Rosario, Argentina. From then on they began to perform live on a national level, sharing the stage with artists such as Cielo Razzo, Fluido, Eruca Sativa, Utopians, Cirse, La Mississippi, Los Vándalos, Indios, Vetamadre and Marilina Bertoldi, among others.
The following year they released their first EP of four songs, recorded at El Attic Studios (General Rodríguez, Buenos Aires) and mastered at Trakworx Studios in California. This work had “Sigo” as the first cut and video clip.
In 2015 they released their first full-length album, “Fuego”, consisting of 12 tracks, the first cut being “Más tranquilos“, followed by“‘Distancia”, “Después de estallar” and “Todo por hoy”.
In 2019 they recorded a version of “El bar de la calle Rodney” by La Portuaria with Diego Frenkel, who also participated in a video clip of this rendition with Sístole. Then, in 2020 they released the single “Refugio”.
In 2021, with changes in the line-up, they entered the studio to record a new album, “Al fin del mundo”, with Javier Robledo (Cielo Razzo, Coti) on drums. In August 2022 it was released through all digital platforms.
In August 2024, with a new line-up and format (trio), the band released their single “Otro giro”, with its accompanying music video.
Sístole is currently made up of Diego Robertazzo (vocals), Fernando Raiz (bass, guitars, synths) and Elio Chies (drums).
