EP †

A free EP available on the web. A group with a name that's radical-chic to the highest levels. 
I know nothing about them. I don't know if behind the three crosses there's a group or a solo artist, but what I do know is that the beauty of musical objectivity comes from listening to an album with complete innocence. Without being influenced by potential singles or names.

Five songs and so much fury. And it is love. 

An album of suspensions and beats, of darkness and sudden lights, "EP" is a pleasure to listen to and reveals itself as a pleasant surprise. And the best surprises come when you least expect them, a bit like when a semi-unknown group like our own Lorre released an absolutely essential work like "Roghi Dei Libri".

Five songs that, like inexplicable punches, pierce the ears behind a veneer that travels between easy-listening and experimentation. The first two tracks are enough, the beautiful "This Is A Thick" and "Option" to let yourself go into a sea of fog. Into a hypersonic cataclysm. Into an elusive pop wasteland. 
They are small songs, small moments of nothingness. Suffering disguised as electronic elegance. 
"Bermuda Locked" brushes against the ballad, but doesn’t soften the tones. Famished ghosts, incurable discomforts, and shadows emerge. Cigarette smoke everywhere, indistinguishable presences. "Thholyghst" becomes, instead, suddenly rock, managing to draw both powerful guitar riffs and spectral moments reminiscent of an underwater theremin sound. 
And, with the very successful closing of a truly powerful piece, you immerse yourself deeper into the sonic abyss, among the arms of sleepy and destroyed ghosts. Devastated. Among aquatic spirals that leave no escape, before "Cross", with its slow suspension of enveloping atmospheres and almost trip-hop beats, can steal away even the little light that remains. 
And off you go, down into the spatial limbo. Down between crystal castles and endless twilights. Between Dantean infernal circles and Morpheus's universe. The scream of Medea and the unfillable void. 

This album is an abyss. It seems, at times, simplistic, but it definitely leaves an impression.

And listening to it during a heavy downpour, with a gray sky and barely hinted clouds, is truly the best.
