"Muralla" is Cotarea's 1st EP. It is a collection of self-produced lo-fi demos recorded and arranged at home during the pandemic. Each song in Muralla draws inspiration from Cotarea's wide range of musical influences. From the British invasion of the 60s to the Seattle bands of the 90s, from the punk pioneers of the 70s to the Pinoy indie bands of the early 2000s, from the dissonance of jazz and blues to the quantized beats of modern pop, Muralla is a celebration of the music she grew up listening to and loving.

The album artwork was designed by her mother, visual artist Neng Torres Yabut.

Watch this video to hear snippets of each track from the EP.
