interview
We thought this record was to enjoy unity
even in language and we liked to do it with
our own. There is special attention not only
in the writing of the texts, where we tried
more than ever to leave nothing to chance,
but there are also different sizes of text. We
connected all visually. While “Blue Mother”,
the cow on the cover, is our Ark, the other
texts through symbolically size. There are
land texts, texts by half and texts of the sky.
All connected not only from the concept of
exodus to an unknown size, but symbolically
connected the one with the other. You’ll know
by looking at the inside of the disc, which is
also symbolically explained everything. Part
of the symbols that are in close connection
6
with the texts, were also issued prior to our
Facebook page. The lyrics speak of feelings
and memories that are related to what you
want to leave, emptied of everything to let fill
the new, without pretending to bring along
and beyond their past experience, because
that does not count, or at least , not so much
to have the claim to assert necessarily something. so ready to know how to listen.
You searched for the isolation in country
houses uninhabited for the work on the album. Can you explain why?
Many times we return to the countryside as a
place where we can enjoy some introspection
and moments of improvisation placeless and
timeless. The campaign brings us into a new
world and more and does not force us to
schedules or meetings that can divert your
attention on things. The few distractions we
had were a couple of horses or two three sheep, two dogs, a few chickens. And this withdrawal size has a great influence on
our concentration. He has affected a
lot.
How is it born “Sui tramonti di
Seth”, the most ambitious song of
the entire album?
Sui tramonti di Seth is a song that
has undergone several evolutions.
We went back again and again and
in several directions, until we have
found the right one that has led us to
synthesize the rhythmic language in
one way and the instrumental in two
key moments both primitive, with
an evocative aspect, shamanic and
full of omens.
I am well aware that you have declared a need for “deratization” in
today’s musical world... but I have
to ask you: who are Italian independent artists that you value the most?
When we decided to start writing, we felt the
need to lock ourselves in us to go beyond
what we knew to do. It looks and it is an ambitious project. We wanted to stay away from
the conditioning of listenings and we did not
want that the usual European singer in vogue
telling us what it was the last sound trend to
use to get you to say from Italian people that
it was is cool because it sounded “European”.
We wanted to start from us, from what we do
and what we would have written beyond what
is routine. We closed to confess what we wanted to write, and with the tools we had. Many
sounds are the result of research and a craft
reasoning. Some are born well by mistake.
For the rest, we are not very happy with the
Italian scene, and we do not believe we can
talk about a real independent scene.
