Rusia-IDK crooner making bruised, low-resolution avant-pop ballads
Based in Madrid, Spain
mori makes short, unhurried songs from blurred electronics, lo-fi guitars, distorted vocals and close-miked crooning in Spanish and English. El Niño Bola favors fragile ballads and unfinished-feeling interludes over obvious peaks, so the set should lean intimate, loose and emotionally exposed.
Martín Moreno Rivera is a founding figure in Madrid's Rusia-IDK collective alongside rusowsky, Ralphie Choo, TRISTÁN! and DRUMMIE. After breaking through Spain's bedroom-pop scene with “q no,” he spent years on the collective's visual and creative direction before releasing his first album, El Niño Bola, in 2026.
