B-Side Guys

Deep waters hold strange treasures. On “Deepest Ruins,” Fruta Brutal transforms relationship dissolution into underwater archaeology, creating a psychedelic dance track that finds unexpected beauty in emotional submersion. Through shimmering production and aquatic imagery, the band crafts a narrative where sinking becomes transcendence.

The track’s sonic palette draws from both hemispheric traditions, merging Brazilian Tropicália’s experimental spirit with contemporary indie dance textures. When Martín Better Longo delivers opening lines “We swam out way too far / Now we’re sinking from the heart,” the arrangement creates a weightless space where loss becomes possibility. The production particularly shines during the chorus, where “Mirror of crystal blue / In the deepest ruins” floats atop waves of synthesizers and propulsive rhythms.

Most striking is how the lyrics map emotional evolution through submersion metaphors. “The water overtakes / Everything that’s bound to fade / To hell with holding on to all the bullshit” marks the moment acceptance becomes liberation. The arrangement follows this transformation, building from meditative verses to an ecstatic declaration that “I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

The bridge delivers particular power through its embrace of uncertainty: “Something tells me we’ll never be the same / And though I couldn’t tell you who it is I became.” Here, the production opens into expansive psychedelic territory, suggesting that identity itself might be as fluid as the water metaphors that carry the narrative.

Through their marriage of South American musical heritage and modern indie dance elements, Fruta Brutal has created something remarkable – a celebration of dissolution that makes you move while contemplating what parts of yourself might need to stay submerged.
