Threestepstotheocean - Del fuoco (2020) EN

Threestepstotheocean is a band that debuted a while ago, their first album was released in 2007. Now the post-rockers out of Milan showed their fifth, but also the longest as it seems, release called Del fuoco.

The title in Italian means "fire" and surely the album doesn't lack fire anywhere. During the whole time it goes, there's this under-skin tension transmitted by the guitar music of the band. Sometimes it appears as nervous, pulsating bass line sometimes by the airy backing vocals. That's a lot of diverse sounds, although the Italians' music is strictly based on guitars still being quite eclectic, both in the ideas and the way they are executed.

No wonder that the musicians admit to being inspired but a real mixture of genres saying that the album "moves freely across the borders of instrumental rock, gathering elements from metal and post-rock, blending them with psychedelia e world influences". A word has to be devoted to the track called Dispersi in which the tension I mentioned is even more noticeable also thanks to the samples skillfully added to the music, samples of something that sounds like protest chanting. Sounds unbelievable.
