The Boston darkwave and post-punk band PILGRIMS has unveiled the music video for their second single, “Alien,” from the upcoming album Gemini. Formed in 2018 by Chilean vocalist Juls Garat and Colombian musician Claudio Marcio, the song reflects their decade-long journey in the U.S., highlighting the immigrant experience through a blend of English and Spanish lyrics. The video, directed by Thomas Pelino, captures their performance in Cambridge, MA. With their name change from Pilgrims of Yearning, the band emphasizes their journey as immigrants. Gemini is set for release on February 13, following their previous works.
Considering the rich narrative woven into their music and the cultural themes addressed, how do you think art can shape and elevate conversations about immigration and identity in today’s society?
