Recreate Patterns, Release Energy

The new album was recorded between Bergamo and Berlin, the cities where Leonardo De Franceschi (drums) and Giorgio Assi (producer, synthesisers and vocals) respectively live.

The concept revolves around a reflection on how ingrained habits and patterns can trap the individual, giving rise to a desire to break free from all repetitive patterns through the expression of a more authentic and liberated energy, embodied in the music: the result is a kaleidoscope of sound that blends diverse influences – from krautrock to grunge, from shoegaze to the most experimental electronica – ranging from dreamlike atmospheres to relentless beats.
