The Berlin-based duo Mueran Humanos, composed of Carmen Burguess (voice, synth) and Tomás Nochteff (bass, voice, drum machine), are quintessential outsiders who navigate a sonic landscape that mirrors their creative process. Blending elements of psychedelia, EBM, garage rock, industrial, krautrock, post-punk, and minimal synth, they create a sound that intertwines delicacy, sensuality, poetry, horror and violence to reflect on nightmares, childhood terrors, and the trauma of mental institutions, best illustrated in the DIY movie made by Carmen for their third album “Hospital Lullabies”. 

As two hearts become one double heart during a triumphal accident, those twin flames had to kill one another before they could love each other. Like two tormented souls evoking the aesthetic of German Expressionist Kabinet des Dr. Caligari, their artistic approach is a deliberate collage of experiences: improvisation, altered states, and esoteric symbolism merge to reveal deeper psychological landscapes.

Their work operates on multiple symbolic levels, interweaving Christian imagery, alchemical symbols, and personal mythology where the translucent blood red color and the surrealist aesthetic of the album covers reflect a side wound pierced in the heart. Their new video for "Cadenas de la Infancia" explores the dark terrains of childhood trauma, dismembered memory, and psychological transformation when childhood happens to be a personal disaster ("Cadenas de la infancia / Cadenas haciendo ruido / Te perdiste en el instante / Y ahora vuelves al camino").

The video suggests that genuine human transformation requires descending into the cavern of one's own psychological depths, confronting pain, fear, and breaking the metaphorical chains of past traumas. Showing her naive drawings and macabre dolls reminiscent of German dadaist Hannah Höch, Carmen Burguess proves that outsider art can be a powerful tool for deconstructing lost innocence.
