Comment
: the first association by listening to this 3-piece album was "spectacular" and "theatrical". More profoundly, it is highly accentuated through the high-registered male vocals, punching drums, brooding synths. It was just the kick-off merely. Later it will be variegated with a spoken word snippet in the storytelling way (in Italian), the baritone singing hovering above the mesmerizing layers of a throbbing dark-hued composition. In fact, the more you listen to it the better it gets - a grower. Weird but convincing indeed.
