Leave In Silence
Lovesick

Introduction

1989

I was a teenager when something changed the course of my life: the release of The Cure's album "Disintegration". Nothing was the same as before; that album mirrored 100% what I was feeling at the time: depression, desperate romanticism, melancholy, asexuality, a constant nostalgia for the passing time (Homesick, indeed), autism, the pursuit of aesthetics, the cursed poets, etc., etc...

There was this band emerging from the cauldron of post-punk that returned to the scene with sounds typical of late eighties music, which were not theirs before, and their dark wave became a legend, a myth.

In the following years, I kept searching for those sounds and partially found them in bands like: And Also the Trees, The Frozen Autumn, Clan of Xymox, and above all, in the only album by Leave in Silence, this Lovesick.

Lovesick is just a tribute to Disintegration. You will find depressing keyboards, liquid guitars, a melancholic, sad voice. Close your eyes and listen to Sharing this Silence, and if you haven't burst into tears, then you're not human. Or Unease, truly touching, which recalls the aforementioned Homesick.

The Leave in Silence (who are very much Italian) will take you on a journey of shadows and melancholy where you'll let yourself be overcome by these emotions, and they will reward you with all their art.

If you're looking for technical skills, you're wrong: the songs are simple and derivative, but that's not what interests us sad souls.

This album is hard to find, but I felt it was my duty to promote it anyway; on ‘the tube,’ you can find something, and if you, like me, are disintegrated, make it yours.
