Filipino rock music icons Ely Buendia and the Itchyworms once again teamed up to produce a song under Buendia’s independent record label, Offshore Music.

“Malinaw na Malabo na Tayo” will be the third single released by the musicians. The track will exclusively be a part of the labels’ second compilation album to be released next Tuesday, Dec. 10.

Offshore took some behind-the-scenes footage of the Itchyworms recording with Buendia and released it via Twitter yesterday, Dec. 3.

The track’s upbeat tempo counterpoints the song’s message about what appears to be a fading relationship.

Last February, Buendia and the rock band also joined together for a concert entitled Greatest Hits, at the Newport Performing Arts Theater, Resorts World Manila.

Ely Buendia and the Itchyworms’ most recent collaboration dates back to 2016, when they released two songs entitled “Lutang” and “Pariwara”.

“Offshore Music Vol.2” will also feature tracks from other artists under the label such as the legendary Jun Lopito, Buendia’s band Apartel, Cheats, One Click Straight, ena mori, Big Hat Gang and Pinkmen. JB
