Lovecraft in Tokyo - come saremmo stati? (2021)


The Italian band Lovecraft in Tokyo have just released their second EP with some worth noticing, dreamy vibes on it. come saremmo stati? marks also a genre-shift in their career and it's very interesting where they will go from now on.

They admit to change their original, more post-rock-like sound that on this album is being toned down into more dreamy, ethereal music. This album, that was created by each artist separately, due to the obvious reasons, is opened by coarse guitar sounds but they are quickly soften by quite cheerful synths. "We played with more dream pop and layered sounds, pursuing the themes we like to feel bad about in the same way in the lyrics" - the lyrics are in Italian so it's hard to follow, undoubtedly though, they don't sound sad and the contrast between the meaning and the sound always makes great results.

There's probably a big surprise for Italian fans in the middle of the album too, as the band decided to cover a song by Lucio Battisti, a classic Italian singer/songwriter from 60s and 70s. And this song in the dreamy disguise feels like it was written to sound like this. However, the song I like the most would probably be Didascalie with its vocals slowly getting lost within the oneiric music like a consciousness fading slowly within the dream.
