Mis Sueños Son De Tu Adiós (often abbreviated as “mis sueños“) has just released their new EP, “no necesitas palabras“, available from September 20th in digital formats and cassette through Inerme Discos.
Despite being referred to as a band, mis sueños is actually a solo project helmed by a single individual working with a computer.
“Playing with a live band is an amazing experience and something I can barely grasp. It’s a big deal,” admits founder and main member, Enzo.
The project officially began in mid-2020 with the release of “páginas muertas” on Larry Records, recorded entirely in a bedroom in Viedma, Argentina—a small town at the gateway to Patagonia with limited cultural happenings, especially in alternative and punk/hardcore scenes.
In 2022, they started traveling 1,000 km north to Buenos Aires to perform gigs and see other bands, something impossible in their hometown. The reception was overwhelming. “To put it bluntly, I was the only person carrying the ‘screamo/emoviolence’ sound,” Enzo explains.
The turning point came in late 2023 when a full band lineup was formed with friends from Buenos Aires. “Suddenly (but not surprisingly) we were playing gigs I only dreamed of, with bands I always loved and a bunch of people singing, moshing, crying, etc.”
Their music resonates with a diverse fanbase, from “weeaboo teens to old metalheads to people in old emo bands.” They attribute some of their success to good timing, as screamo has become increasingly popular.
Financial constraints have shaped their music production. “It’s just me with my Behringer UMC22. Never had money or gear, so I just have to do with what I have. To put it into perspective, only this year I could afford my first Squier guitar! Cost me 200 dollars and I love it with my whole heart.”
The new EP draws inspiration from, as Enzo says, “the hardcore/emo I always loved and cherished,” citing bands like Apoplexy Twist Orchestra, Jeromes Dream, Attack Attack, and Love Lost But Not Forgotten.
Enzo delves deeper into their creative process: “Inspirations have been always tough (at least the not obvious ones) because of what characteristics I emphasize on the songs. Let’s say, for example, I suddenly wanted to play full-on Sawtooth Grin-inspired mathcore-y screamo. Do I understand all the subtleties and implications behind that sound? In which context did that band grow to achieve that sound? I just try to keep it real to myself.”
Lyrically, the EP balances “the feeling of disposability on the modern internet; as viewed through the lens of sexual abuse.” The words are “based around bits and pieces of text on the internet,” often leaving details to the imagination and not stating bluntly what they’re trying to say. “It’s all a game of judging people and making up headcanons to justify our beliefs,” reflects Enzo.
Track-by-Track Commentary
“clarisa lo sabe todo” (0:52): “This song fits that example well, while being melodic and having breakdowns and all. It’s a nice intro to the mis sueños post-2023 sound, in my opinion. It also sets the tone for the EP.” The track adheres to their self-imposed rule: all songs need to be spazzy, fast, and include a bunch of blast beats.
“no disponible en este momento” (2:15): “After the short first track, I found it appropriate to have a lengthier one up next. I’ve been getting comfortable with the idea of writing two guitar parts that are fully independent of each other, so the intro and the breakdown take that path. It’s been a nice opportunity to go wild with different rhythms and melodies.”
“the cake” (0:53): “This one’s the only song that wasn’t written in 2024! It’s actually a song from an old project I had called un llamado desde el cielo. I always felt like the topics of the song and the composition are peak mis sueños, so I thought it was a nice chance to get that song to as many people as possible.”
“sangre fría” (1:31): “In a weird way, it’s the most simple song out of all four; it just leads to that final Bremen-esque riff. It was written solely on guitar and as a full-on rhythmic piece. Lyrically, it’s the most cryptic song, in my opinion, leaving a good deal of thinking that’s perfect for replaying the EP over and over.”

The cover art and visual elements were created using “trash around my house and trash I had on my hard drive,” they reveal.
The concept is straightforward: “Photocopies are the same as screenshots or shitty photos.” The little angels on the cover were taken from a cheap beer brand that’s gaining popularity in Argentina, reflecting the tough economic year where “our purchasing power is like one-third of what it was eight months ago.” The texture comes from a piece of cardboard lying around. “I just wanted it to be functional,” says Enzo.
Looking ahead, mis sueños is planning three splits with some Buenos Aires acts. “Never did one with an Argentinian band before, so working with close friends has me hyped!”
They are also gearing up for their first international show in December. “If you paid close attention to our socials, you might know where.” Additionally, they’re playing their first big venue on November 17th with All For Love, a 2010’s Argentine metalcore band. “It’s curious how it’s all come full circle—’real’ emo bands that are real popular now playing shows with ‘fake’ emo bands that were way more popular back then”.
Expressing contentment with the independent music scene in Argentina, they note that most shows “are tied through ideals more than subgenres.”
Being one of the few emo acts allows them to play with all types of hardcore, indie, and punk bands. However, they sense that the post-COVID momentum is waning: “Established bands are getting more established, and fewer new acts are coming through. I mean, we’re closer to 2025/26 than 2022!”
They recommend a plethora of local bands: Wrrn, Cursi No Muere, Llagas, Primitivo, Coagvla, El Nota, Nenagenix, Courrieres, Ileso, Distante, Clamor, Rachu Resiliencia, Eucalyptus, Masticando Plástico Crudo, Plenamente, and La Real Academia.
“I’m real happy with the bands I’m able to see right now,” admits Enzo.
“no necesitas palabras” by Mis Sueños Son De Tu Adiós is available now on digital platforms and cassette through Inerme Discos.
