| sps2483 FRANCESCO LURGO THE GENTLE WHALE CD, 6-panel digisleeve |
||||
| The acquatic and marine imagery drawn by the titles and the artwork for “The Gentle Whale”, Francesco Lurgo’s second LP, the first one for Silentes, are a metaphor for a sound that is liquid and like the sea is constantly shifting from the quietness of intimate ambient moments to waves of maximalist sonic pressure, always looking with admiration to the creative world of contemporary soundtracks. From this sonic fluid, arpeggios and themes played by melancholic post-rock guitars and plucky synths that would be at home in IDM or deconstructed electro, emerge to affirm the love for melodies as the backbone of Lurgo’s production. The record features additional production and mastering by frequent collaborator Emilio Pozzolini (port-royal, Earth Begins) and, on two tracks, violins performed by Vito Gatto.. order |
