Barcelona’s Huir materializes once more with an ominous darkwave track: Storm, a brooding charge of ions and voltage, with a melody that cracks through the air like a sudden bolt. Ana Of The Head and David Solazo — one armed with synths and vox, the other slinging guitar lines and percussive bursts — established this dark synth duo barely three years ago, but Storm arrives with the force and clarity of thunder that’s been gathering for far longer.
With Storm, Ana delivers her lines like she’s tightening a knot around the throat of the void itself. One moment, she’s all steel and straight-spined declaration; the next, she sinks into a sultry whisper. Sparse alliteration slips through her phrasing, sharp enough to cut the static. Meanwhile, Solazo pours in guitar streaks that glow like coals and drum hits that sound stolen from some dim basement rite. The whole thing moves with a dense electric surge.
Lyrically, they’re staring down tempests, both cosmic and internal; there is talk of being crushed, but unbreakable—talk of refusing to relinquish whatever spark keeps you upright in the maelstrom. Huir writes about endurance like it’s something mundane…because the alternative is nothing less than spiritual rot.
The mood skews toward the forgotten corners of late-’80s cinema, the kind where teenagers in leather jackets outrun curses under flickering boardwalk lights. Storm could have slipped onto The Lost Boys soundtrack without anyone blinking, all smoke machines and crucifixes and that weird California gothic mood that made everything feel bigger than life. Storm feels built for fog, strobe lights, and pounding hearts.

Huir emerged in 2022, and by the following year had made their way to La Distilleria in Italy to shape their debut EP Triumphal Arch Lovers with Maurizio Baggio — the same meticulous hand behind Boy Harsher and The Soft Moon’s most pressurized moments. Baggio returns for Storm, taking on production, mixing, and mastering duties to channel the track’s voltage into something sharp and unmistakably theirs.
With momentum building, Huir have already locked in several key festival slots across Europe. They’ll close out the year, appear at Ombra in Barcelona on December 6, followed by Death Disco Festival in Győr, Hungary (May 30–31, 2026), Eastside Open Air in Halle (Saale), Germany (July 3–4, 2026), and Sounds from the Heart Festival in Zürich (October 24–25, 2026).
