The five-song EP highlights the band’s emotional storytelling and musical growth across more than two decades of Pinoy rock influence.

Filipino alternative outfit Imago continues to shape modern OPM with the release of their EP, Pasimple, unfolding into a new era for one of the most vital forces in Pinoy rock. The 5-track collection marks the band’s first official studio release under Sony Music Entertainment and their sixth overall.

For nearly three decades, Imago has redefined their sound with emotional introspection and expansive, guitar-driven arrangements. In Pasimple, they carry the legacy forward with confidence. Produced and arranged by the band alongside longtime collaborators Raymund Marasigan and Buddy Zabala, the new EP expands Imago’s signature sound while introducing subtle new influences that reflect the band’s openness to explore off-kilter and interesting instrumentations, textures, and songwriting styles.

Sonically, Pasimple reflects a band operating at full momentum. “We’re at peak creativity with this album with songs inspired by our years as music lovers, plus fresh creative input from Kurei (vocalist and chief songwriter). The EP is a representation of the interlocking energy and vibes of the members, and our life experiences from the past until the present.”

The 5-track EP also serves as one of Imago’s most collaborative efforts to date. Working closely with Marasigan and Zabala, the band intentionally pushed their arrangements into unfamiliar territory. “We set out to write more collaboratively than ever,” they say. “Taking the bumps and the smooth ride that comes with it and exploring things we haven’t done before.”

The EP’s focus track, “Lagi Na Lang,” captures the exhausting and repetitive patterns of a relationship in slow decay. Buoyed by restrained guitars, steady drums, and emotionally grounded vocals, the song explores the feeling of letting go in a relationship that sadly no longer works.

Track list:

1. Gulong-gulo
2. Pasimple
3. Lagi na lang (Focus Track)
4. Andito na tayo
5. Sayang Na Sayang

With Pasimple, Imago proves that their creative momentum remains vital as ever, reaffirming their place in the Filipino alternative rock space and managing to secure it since the late ‘90s. As the band looks ahead, one thing is certain: the stage is where they belong, and they’re eager to take the songs far and wide across the country.

Imago’s sixth EP, “Pasimple” will be available for streaming on all digital music platforms worldwide starting March 20 via Sony Music Entertainment.
