Murina

Murina from Barcelona, Spain

Murina is a Barcelona-based power-trio formed by Italian Martina de Lugnani, Finnish Laura Vainio and Basque Iñigo Torío. The project started in 2019, when Martina and Laura met and started as a bass/vocals and drums duo. They quickly developed a very personal style that fuses diverse influences, from Sonic Youth, to Babes in Toyland. This bold attitude is reflected in the band's name,‘Murina’, which means‘growl’ in Finnish, as well as in their DIY approach, self-producing videos and album covers. Poetic and courageous lyrics, together with a bold and unpredictable sound, make up a unique proposal that resists any Label. Their new album “Nueva Forma de Vida” is a manifesto of creative freedom, a celebration of music as an act of pure expression.

In 2020 they recorded their first EP, Wave the Brain, at Estudio Hukot, featuring powerful bass and precise drums, with a dark and
heartbreaking voice. The EP was released on vinyl by Spanish,Polish and French labels, and they played at AMFest. They later
released the EP Stuff Galore, distributed globally on cassette by Muzai Records, That year, they shared the stage with Cocaine Piss.

In early 2023, a fan of the duo contacted them, offering himself as a guitarist. After several jam sessions at his place in the middle of the same year, Iñigo officially joined the band. In 2024 they recorded their first LP, Nueva Forma de Vida, produced by Daniel Gil at Siete Barbas Studio, which was released on May 13, 2025 by the Spanish label LaRubia Producciones and the French label Araki Records. "No brain no headache," the first single, is a plea for the simplicity of not feeling. The second single, "Girls are heavy," they wanted to explore the duality: strong and fragile, rebellious and vulnerable.

With an aesthetic that oscillates between grunge, punk, shoegaze and stoner, Murina presents us with an experimental and
deconstructive sound, typical of noise-rock. Their music, a whirlwind of emotions that oscillates between fury and delicacy, immerses us in an intense journey.
