edPorth - Key Black (2011)



/IDM, Experimental electronica, Electronic pop, Art-pop, Downtempo, Ambient, Alternative/


Comment: Patrizio Piastra has abandoned guitars an his epic post-rock-ish ambitions so evidently represented on the debut album Saying vamos and thinking let`s go (2010, Inglorious Ocean). All what is up here is proudly clothed with burbling, pounding electronics and beats and subtle ambient layers above it. This 11-pieced whole veers from mellow, organic electronica/IDM and dystopic ambient and calm downtempo to soothing, art pop-ish singing and pleasant electronic pop. Some of the tracks are very slightly throbbing ones. You can see influences ranging from Bola and Art Of Noise to Dead Can Dance and Seefeel. A solid accomplishment indeed.
