Six years after "La stanza di Ardesia" (an album supported at the time by Gianni Maroccolo of CSI), "Pura Sopravvivenza", the new album by Betularia, is released. The album includes 7 tracks characterized by deliberately sparse arrangements, songs suspended between dark ballads, with a calm pace, and minimal sound textures that highlight the band's singer-songwriter vein. The elegant harmonies of the acoustic guitar are the central framework of the songs, bass and keyboards complete the compositional plan on which a text, never banal, rests with vocal awareness and maturity, creating concrete and indefinite images at the same time, colorful and subtly melancholic frames.

Italian music group. Reviewed on DeBaser for the albums La stanza di ardesia and Pura Sopravvivenza; reviews highlight dense harmonies, atmospheric textures and a later shift to sparser, singer-songwriter arrangements.02 Reviews

From the very first notes of "Una notte fioca di lume" the album captures my attention, with the Italian words very well used, the sweet density of the enveloping sounds, the new harmonies, incomparable to anything else.
What a pity for that 'middle album' too predictable.
