Ernesto Lune returns with a quiet storm in his new single “Not For Now,” a lo-fi indie gem that feels both deeply personal and effortlessly cool. After more than a year away, the Barcelona-based artist is back — and he’s clearly been busy refining his sound into something raw, melodic, and unmistakably his own.
From the opening seconds, “Not For Now” pulls listeners into Lune’s hazy universe of bedroom pop — where drum machines pulse like a restless heart, distorted melodies shimmer and crash, and his voice floats somewhere between vulnerability and defiance. It’s the sound of someone processing heartbreak in real time, but with a sense of freedom rather than despair.
The track also unpacks the emotions following a short-lived relationship that ended abruptly. Instead of wallowing, Ernesto finds lightness in the aftermath. “It was like the wind blew it away,” he explains — and you can feel that release woven into every beat. The production strikes a perfect balance between introspection and energy, offering explosive melodies that echo the chaotic beauty of letting go.
For an artist who records and produces everything from his Barcelona apartment, “Not For Now” feels huge in scope. It’s cinematic yet intimate, perfectly capturing Ernesto’s talent for turning emotional moments into sonic art. Following his debut EP ‘some good air (in search of,)’ this new single signals the start of an exciting new era for the Canadian multi-instrumentalist — one marked by bold creativity and emotional honesty.
Ernesto Lune’s ‘Not For Now’ is lo-fi heartbreak at its most liberating — a vibrant, introspective anthem that turns the end of love into a beautiful new beginning
