Everything you live builds\u00a0you as a person, so we think it builds your art as well. We use songs as a way to express ourselves and to organize our ideas and thoughts. We use them to understand our own feelings and to grow emotionally. This album sums up everything we&#8217;ve lived during the past two years, it wasn&#8217;t easy to open up, but we did it anyway without fear. Every frustration, disappointment, delusion, anger&#8230; We got everything out, we liberated ourselves and now we&#8217;re ready for everything that comes up. The lyrics are very literal; they are our raw experiences&#8211;without makeup. We show our most animal side, reduced to our most intense and visceral emotions. Of all we&#8217;ve lived, we keep the experiences, what was learned, all the mistakes and successes. Now we know life is SORPRESA (surprise), but above all it is FAMILIA (family).<\/i>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>MOURN began when Jazz Rodr\u00edguez Bueno and Carla Perez started to release songs they had written as teens on Youtube; soon after, Antonio Postius and Jazz&#8217;s sister Leia Rodr\u00edguez joined, completing the quartet. They quickly signed to a Spanish label and, after signing to Brooklyn-based label Captured Tracks in 2014, broke onto the American music scene with their self-titled first LP. Although MOURN have only been making music for a short time (compared to the lengthy careers of many post-punk and rock stalwarts) they have since seen more than their fair share of bureaucratic troubles and music industry red tape. The momentum gained from their first LP came to a halt upon the release of their sophomore album, <i>Ha, Ha, He!<\/i>, due to legal issues with their now former Spanish label. In 2017, the group was finally relinquished from legal chaos and through Captured Tracks released an EP of covers titled &#8216;<a href=\"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/2017\/09\/09\/mourn-releases-wall-ep\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Over the Wall<\/a>&#8216;&#8211; at last they were able to tour North America to perform songs from their entire catalogue for live audiences.<\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\"><span lang=\"EN\">Rather than letting unfortunate circumstances discourage them, they channeled their angst and mistrials into the 12 original songs on <i>Sorpresa Familia<\/i>, citing themes such as mistreatment by toxic figures, letting go of the past, and being quite literally abandoned in a foreign city as touring teenagers. A bit older, and certainly grown into their talent even more than before, MOURN is prepared to once again captivate the attention of international critics and fans alike with <i>Sorpresa Familia<\/i>, which will be released on June 15th via Captured Tracks. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm1.staticflickr.com\/881\/40463850294_eb36974a0d_b.jpg?resize=374%2C374&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"MOURN 'Sorpresa Familia&quot; cover\" width=\"374\" height=\"374\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>&#8216;Sorpresa Familia&#8217; track listing<\/strong><br \/>\n1.
