Calva Louise have announced their new single “La Promesa.” It is out now on Mascot Records. You can stream it HERE.
| he band will also be joining Creeper on their UK tour from October 8 through 11 before setting off for headline tours in France (October 23-28) and Spain (October 30-November 1). “La Promesa” — translated as “The Promise” from Spanish — is the first single released since the band dropped its previous album, Edge of the Abyss, in July 2025, and continues to build on their unique universe. The song explores the abstract feeling of invisible forces pushing you forward. ”Although some of those forces can be positive, others can become empty promises rooted in obsessions and delusions,” Jess Allanic says. ”Eventually blurring the lines between doing the right thing, accepting a more challenging path or choosing to ignore the consequences of your own actions because it’s the easy way out.” The video is another stunning visual feast, again written, directed and SFX by Allanic, as the story weaves the viewer back to the 18th century and the grounds of a Manor estate. ”The video for ‘La Promesa’ was like our previous videos made by ourselves and our friends and it expands on the story of one of the characters of Edge Of The Abyss. Although the video is a DIY endeavor, we feel we keep continuing to progress in our abilities, always trying to increase the production value,” the band says. The song is sung in Spanish, and Allanic explains the importance of that, saying, ”As Spanish is my native language, it feels more natural for me to accurately convey the abstract emotions that we are experiencing. Also as the song is heavily inspired by Venezuelan Joropo (also known as ‘Música Llanera’), Spanish was subconsciously the only way for me to sing this melody, letting the natural flow of the writing process take total control. That being said, some French lines are sung by our bass player Alizon, as a nod to our multicultural background, and also adding another perspective to the characters’ point of view.” The band handled the entire recording process at home, with the exception of the drums, which were recorded at The Ranch Recording Studio in the south of England. Jess herself produced the track then sent it to Jeff Dunne (Knocked Loose, We Came As Romans, Ice Nine Kills), who mixed and mastered the song, it’s a taster of what is to come. ”The new music continues to expand the Calva Louise universe through our new experiences, adventuring even deeper into themes of duality and purpose, clarifying and elaborating topics already introduced in Edge of The Abyss,” the band explained. The last two years have been a whirlwind for the trio. European tours saw them hit the road with Bloodywood and Stray From the Path, along with two UK headline tours. They also hit the road in the US twice, a co-headline with Vukovi and their own headline run. Not to mention the checklist of festivals along the way: Shiprocked Festival (US), So What?! (US), Welcome to Rockville (US), Sonic Temple (US), 2000Trees (UK), Download (UK), Copenhell (Denmark), Rock For People (Czechia), Eurosonic Noordeslaag (Netherlands), Sun & Thunder (Spain), and more. Talking about the last year, the band reflects on their highlights, saying, ”Releasing Edge of the Abyss and then performing that music around the world was a huge highlight. Our April 2026 UK headline tour was particularly special; selling out shows was incredibly meaningful because seeing those filled rooms of fans connecting to the songs represents how far we’ve come since our beginnings.” Calva Louise’s world continues to expand in 2026 both musically and visually. ”We’re ambitiously elaborating on every possible aspect, starting with Jess fully producing all of our new material, to Alizon improving the sound and visual experience for our live shows and Ben helping to improve the production value. It’s all about team work, because even though we are a small team, the decade we’ve already experienced as a band has prepared us to fulfill this unwavering ambition that keeps materializing further with each release,” they say. |
