Its video was directed by Laura Martinova in Barcelona's historic neighborhoods.[1] Fullà-Silvestre released her second EP, Crisàlida (Catalan for "chrysalis"[3]), on Cascine in May 2019.[4] The four-track EP was among Stereogum's favorites in 2019[5] and two of its tracks, "Ausencias" and "Ciudad del Humo", were among its top tracks of the week.[4][6] "Ciudad del Humo" was released with a video.[4] The album is based on feelings of "heartbreak for what didn't happen" and "feeling trapped" in New York City.[7]
