Baby Volcano: Knock Down
Swiss-based Baby Volcano releases new video / single “Knock Down”
by Jack Rush
Baby Volcano is a Swiss-Guatemalan artist who erupted onto the Swiss underground scene with her debut EP Síndrome Premenstrual (2021). Trained in contemporary dance and performance in Buenos Aires, she captivates audiences with her powerful, sensitive, and avant-garde live shows.
In just two years, she has performed at major festivals across Europe, including Roskilde, Eurockéennes de Belfort, Paléo Festival, Dour Festival, Les Vieilles Charrues, Transmusicales, and many more.
2024 saw her push artistic boundaries further with a festival tour in Quebec (Jazz à Montréal, Les Fêtes de Québec, La Noce) and a landmark performance at the SAKIFO Festival on Réunion Island.
Baby Volcano’s hybrid, visceral, and boundary-pushing music, combined with her bold creative vision, continues to redefine the standards of contemporary artistic expression.
“Knock Down” is the first single from Baby Volcano's second EP ‘SUPERVIVENXIA’, to be released on April 25 via Humus Records & Association du Volcan (Sony Music Publishing).
Knock Down was the first track completed for the EP, showcasing raw and visceral energy that reaffirms Baby Volcano’s deep connection to punk culture. Direct and uncompromising, the song hits straight to the core.
"Knock Down is packed with energy, love, and humor," shares Baby Volcano. "It’s about taking hit after hit—like having buildings fall on you—and still getting back up. It captures the relentless pace of life: being swept away by a torrent of information, crises, and endless demands to work harder and pay more. It’s about falling, standing up, and falling again. It’s messy, it’s exhausting, but it’s real."
The music video, directed by Augustin Rebetez, was shot in Jocotenango, Guatemala, in close collaboration with the artist’s family. Reflecting the fresh, unfiltered vibe of the track, the video portrays the sense of speed and urgency. With hints of Alice in Wonderland’s White Rabbit and The Tortoise and the Hare, it’s both whimsical and thought-provoking.
