about

“Grifo” is the first single from the forthcoming Tipa Tipo album Cintas, to be released in March, 2024. “Grifo” is the Peruvian slang word for gas station, and the bilingual (English/Spanish) track is a playful portrait of friends meeting up at a local gas station as they face an impending climate change apocalypse. The song is a reflection on how life runs on death (“la vida corre sobre la muerte”) - the ancient bodies of dead animals become the fossil fuels we use to power our cars, just as the dead bodies in cemeteries give nutrients to the biggest and healthiest trees in the city. These heavy themes unfold within the musical backdrop of a tropical disco party, blending Peruvian chicha guitars, sultry vocals, and vibey electric pianos.

lyrics

Grifo

Night falls in the land of the living
Neon guides the way
Ancient bodies keep on giving
Pump it up again, up again, up again

La vida corre sobre la muerte
La vida corre sobre la muerte

El mar se sube y el sol se va
Llámame bebe te busco en el grifo
Grifo
When the sun goes down and the moon comes up
See you hanging around the corner grifo
Grifo

Grifo

Grifo

Bones rest in the old cemetery
Bodies in decay
Decaída
Feed the biggest trees in the city
Giving life again, life again, life again

La vida corre sobre la muerte
La vida corre sobre la muerte

El mar se sube y el sol se va
Llámame bebe te busco en el grifo
Grifo
When the sun goes down and the moon comes up
See you hanging around the corner grifo
Grifo

Grifo
