Eyes closed, mind full throttle

PIGS DON'T FLY · November 2025

"Eyes closed, mind full throttle" is a paradoxical EP that serves as an unflinching journey into the heart of a modern mental health crisis, showcasing the tension between deliberate emotional avoidance ("eyes closed") and an internal torrent of anxiety and self-doubt ("mind full throttle"). The four tracks—AMNESIA, MOMENT, SOLDIER'S AWARD, and TICKET—map a resonant narrative of being trapped in a mental "compound," using substance abuse as a coping mechanism for profound loneliness, and framing the fight against self-destruction as a personal, unrecognized "soldier's award".

about the artist.

PIGS DON'T FLY

view this artist.

PIGS DON'T FLY are a self-produced, Argentine-Italian music duo from Madrid. They make hip hop, house, and rnb with a common thread: rap. They met as kids at school, quickly grew to become good friends, and just as quickly lost each other when Nachi moved back to Argentina. Years later, when he came back to Spain and started publishing music, Don Le heard and got in touch claiming to be a rapper. The claim held up. From their surnames Moreno and Porchietto came "BROWN PIGS", which didn't survive being said out loud, but inspired the name that stuck. A raw, literal response to the idiom saying 'when pigs fly': "PIGS DON'T FLY". Their first EP, "Eyes closed, mind full throttle", comprises four tracks built on slow, introspective jazz-rap: deliberate avoidance, the noise it fails to quiet, loneliness, and self-medication. Next, and louder — house, club, and sample-driven; clean one bar and distorted the next. Six tracks on romance, substance abuse, and codependence folding into each other, moving fast enough never to heal: "'til DEATH do us PARTY".
