Description
Red Sun's fourth LP is a declaration of love for hidden places, both internal and geographical, which, precisely because of their unknown allure and insecurity, inspire profound reflections and silent catharsis. The seven tracks are imbued with a sound that is at times harsh and angular, yet always cultivates a dreamlike and sometimes epic imagery. It is the first album with vocals by the talented Elisa Brusati (then the singer of Noema) and lyrics by drummer and synth player Federico Rivoli. This choice has strengthened the band's cinematic and expressive inspiration, which in previous albums was entirely instrumental. The guitar and bass parts complement a less prominent use of synths and keyboards compared to the last album, "From Sunset to Dawn" although there is no shortage of themes and long psychedelic digressions, such as in the songs "Hidden Places" and "Sleeping Brain".
The artwork is complemented by photography by Nicola Neso and designed by graphic designer Manlio Tenaglia, inspired by Federico Rivoli, who personally carved the font used for the song titles and the band's logo into the wall of the old mill where Red Sun has its rehearsal space. All this gives strength and coherence to the artistic project, which aims to describe hidden and time-worn places for which we cherish love and which are imbued with memories and precious details.
