Progressive math/post-rock
The Italian trio has released fouralbums, of which their latest, Liminal (2024), redefines the math-rock labelthat has been attached to the group and creates new music inspired by jazz,EDM, and film scores and many more.
The liminal describes a place wherenorms and rules are temporarily lifted and tested. Setting their musicalexpression completely free, the group playfully mixes drum’n’bass, noise anddream pop into a dystopian futurism. In the song “The Ritual”, the pavementpounds with acid rain in an epic, neon lit post-apocalyptic megacity. Liminalis a wonderful ménage à trois, a polyamorous meeting between electronic,synthetic and acoustic music that reminds us that musical genres are dynamicand open.
