Bono / Burattini
A deep immersion in kosmische landscapes, stripped electronica and oscillatory psychedelia: the duo consisting of vocalist Francesca Bono and multi-faceted drummer Vittoria Burattini—a member of influential Italian avant-rock band Massimo Volume—emerge with meticulously constructed songs, rich in assembled textures and echoed, otherworldly choirs. Their latest Ora sono un lago is an album of staggering depth: a pointillist manifesto of contemporary futurism and hand-cranked emotionalism with an impressively wide sonic palette. Scintillating, complex sequences leave space to spellbinding synths and menacing, funked-out drums. Its mysterious blend touches on the obscure rumblings of early UK post-rock as well as pastoral minimalism and spiritual elegance.
