Mars Rodriguez has shared a new single and video with the release of “Walk Through This,” a dizzyingly gripping sprawl of potent electro-punk. The project is the brainchild of Nicaraguan-American Maria Alejandra Rodriguez Serrano, a DIY producer, visual artist, and a one-person band who excels at creating long-form and immersive soundscapes. Not to mention the hypnotically mind-bending videos that they end up soundtracking. It’s also the second song she has unveiled this year as she gears up for the arrival of their upcoming record Mañana Nobody Knows. Ad

With its unbridled sonics “Walk Through This” functions as a frayed portal into a whole new dimension of ecstatic sound. Over the course of nearly eight minutes, Mars Rodriguez leads you by the wisps of her ethereal voice on a transcendent voyage into the depths of her enigmatic and ferociously anthemic music. One that is at first defined by the raging tumult of industrial electronica and volcanic riffs.
“We keep rising to overcome,” Rodriguez howls defiantly through the virulent crashes. “We keep dancing to the drums / Melting in the sun.” As the chorus erupts one final time the track starts to morph into a pyroclastic flow of irresistibly searing drum and bass that briefly warps itself into this strident electronica.

The video for “Walk Through This” was created by Rodriguez as well and offers some truly eerie but enthralling visuals to go along with the experimental track. Flashing between glitchy transmissions of a close-up shot of an eyeball projected onto a television set, a group of ghostly figures, and a vibrantly haunting sunset.
Rodriguez has been releasing music since 2018 under her solo project, bringing together elements of electronic music, noise pop, and post-punk in the music that she writes, records, engineers, and produces herself. If you enjoyed her latest offering you need should absolutely plunge into the spellbinding universes of previous singles “Todo Tiempo Futuro fue Mejor” and “FrenesÍ.” artist to watch in 2023
