Caffeine Break by Lagusnilad

Lagusnilad trades the wall-of-sound distortion for the warm glow of a late-night cafe in their latest EP, Caffeine Break. Marking a bold departure from their signature shoegaze and alternative rock roots, this collection finds the band leaning into a lush, R&B-infused soundscape.

It’s an intentional shift that mirrors the band’s ever-evolving nature—swapping heavy pedals for soulful grooves and "cool, chill" vibes. Whether you’re winding down or looking for a rhythmic escape, Caffeine Break proves that Lagusnilad is just as comfortable in the quiet, melodic pockets of R&B as they are in the noise.

Taking its name from Manila’s iconic subterranean passageway, Lagusnilad is an electronic/ shoegaze/alternative pop project that operates beneath the surface of the traditional music industry. Founded by producer Berns Pentiño, the collective is composed of professionals from diverse sectors who use the digital ether as their meeting ground.
