Firpolar formed in 2014 around brothers Martín and Nicolás Ron, with Mariano Castro on drums and Rodrigo 'Grillo' Pérez handling keyboards and vocals. They're an Argentine band that works with atmospheric melodies and poetic lyrics, though their early years involved some struggle to find their footing in a crowded scene.
Their 2017 single 'Afuera' became a breakthrough, a melancholic ballad that connected with listeners internationally. Other songs like 'Donde Habita El Fuego' and 'La Reina de Japón' show their range, moving between ethereal soundscapes and more experimental touches.
The band has released several albums since their debut, each showing some growth without settling into one predictable style. They've worked with other musicians along the way, including Marie Pien on 'Donde Habita El Fuego,' but the core lineup has remained Martín and Nicolás Ron, Castro, and Pérez.
