Tracks Listing:
Comes in an ultra glossy jacket and printed inner sleeve with
lyrics. With the addition of Chelsey Crowley on vocals, synthesists
Andrea Mantione & Giacomo Zatti found that their initial coldwave
tracks, originally written for male voice, took on an undeniable
synthpop feel. While still recording these songs for the debut Exposure
EP in 2019, the band leaned into this evolution and their shared love of
Italo disco, beginning to write what would become the New Earth LP.
Recorded
in isolation during a global pandemic, New Earth is a dark Italo record
dappled with light. For eight new tracks, dancing synths perfectly
balance the rich dream of a charmed life with melancholy. Guitars have
taken a step back, allowing disco beats to flood the floor and joyful
fun to prevail. The record anticipates a return to dance spaces,
imagines shared experiences and celebrates personal power.
Produced
by sound engineer Maurizio Baggio, with vocal recording by Riki and
featuring guest vocals from B. Sven Gustavson (Spectres, Nouveaux), New
Earth reflects international influences from the goth club scene to
Hi-Nrg classics, reminiscent of Italian Baby Records, Mute Records and
the spaces in between.
Released in 2022 by Legion of the Dead.
