Nuovo album per la cult-band SPARKLE IN GREY, che include brani inediti tratti dalle sessions di “Thursday Evening” e “Idiot Savant” (il disco condiviso con gli americani Controlled Bleeding).
“Brahim Izdag” propone le tipiche sonorità trasversali dei SIG, tra elettronica e ambientazioni post-rock, stavolta volte a un’originale ibridazione con suoni e umori provenienti da altri Paesi.
Da cui un’originale miscela ambient-etno-electro-post-rock.
Diversi gli ospiti presenti: Zacharia Diatta (cantante di Dakar), Yan Jun (cinese di Beijing), Osvaldo Arioldi Schwartz (membro fondatore delle Officine Schwartz), Bernardo Carvalho (artista portoghese che ha realizzato l’illustrazione in copertina), Enrico Coniglio (veneto, field recordist) e Danilo Donninelli (dalle Marche, membro della band di musica tradizionale Traballo)
All the tracks on this album were recorded during the sessions for Thursday Evening and Idiot Savant (the split we did with Controlled Bleeding). This makes Brahim Izdag the final part a triptych, as it was recorded in the same sessions of these two albums in Andrea Serrapiglio‘s studios.
During the years from 2012 up to the present day, we realised that sounds from other countries were migrating into our music, in a way that seemed very smooth and organic.
Alongside these sounds, we invited several collaborators: Zacharia Diatta (a singer from Dakar), Yan Jun (‘chinoiser’ from Beijing), Osvaldo Arioldi Schwartz (founder member of Officine Schwartz), Bernardo Carvalho (the Portuguese artist that made Brahim Izdag’s cover illustrations), Enrico Coniglio (venetian field recordist) and Danilo Donninelli (from the Marche regional traditional music band Traballo
