Channelling an infectious energy, Muñequita Rota is the latest track from Migrant Motel that will have you shaking your head along.

A meeting at Berklee College of Music in 2017 led to the Migrant Motel duo to begin crafting and gigging together, and four years later, they’re continuing to channel their creativity and push into new boundaries. With their newest single Muñequita Rota, the pair strip back to some irresistible bass riffs, creating a grungy vibe that you can’t help but want to rock out along to.

Speaking about how it came about, David from the band shares:

The song came from a super fun riff that I’d always play, I love when odd time signatures feel really good and groovy. When Chava [Illizaliturri, band member] and I sat with it, it felt very Jack White, kinda garage and we ended up writing about the strange lust people feel about dating someone with a lot of issues so they can fix them, almost enamored by the “cracks in the porcelain”. We had been touring in Mexico when we came up with the “Mi Muñequita Rota” (broken little doll) line, loved the idea of making it bilingual, and brought it to Peder to make it shine in that alt radio rock way.

The duo also shared an accompanying video, about which they explained:

Doing this video was an absolute dream. With Steve Oristaglio helping us push and Emir Cerman as the director, we were able to get a crazy concept of a creepy haunted house, neon lights, mannequin horror coming-to-life to a full on production that ACTUALLY made it happen. We built a dream team to tell a story of us being the “broken dolls” that come to life through the song, all with a 90’s grunge vibe that we grew up watching. 2 days of intense shooting in a super creepy house, I think the cast and crew might still be a little haunted from it!
