New (Progressive) Frontiers.
Onirica.
Onirica is the parallel dimension where three young men from Palermo, Filippo Caviglia, Daniele Carnevale, and Duilio Scalici (mainly known for directing music videos for names like Bologna Violenta, Nut, Simona Gretchen, and recently Who Is Boro?), respectively bassist, guitarist, and drummer, have taken refuge. A dimension where they are the ferrymen of souls, which in reality are nothing but the users of the various synergies between musical notes. And it is from there that Caronte is born. Caronte like the Dantean character, Caronte like the eponymous album by The Trip, Caronte like one single man in a boat of three elements.
"Onirica" is the first effort of these three novice boatmen, in the form of a single CD, and at the same time the sound formula, summarized in less than ten minutes, that marks the debut of these guys, labeled Pogoselvaggio! Records, through the division into just two moments, not exactly identifiable as simple progressive rock: "Otrom", a small crossing among sound waves where a guitar first gentle then increasingly aggressive is predominant, and the same "Onirica", a mix of funky basses, aggressive distortions, and drums that range from frenetic to moderate, reaching its peak precisely at the moment when various voices emerge, almost similar to those of ghosts, the musical transposition of what is the essence of the track and the single.
Onirica is the path that these guys must take, whether dream or reality, considering the potential they have, to be able to reach very far during the traverse of the current of that sea which answers to the name of the new emerging Italian rock.
Because it's not only dreamlike the realization of one's goal, but also something else. And it's all possible, indeed.
Grab the oars, to not let the will to do fade away.
