Pluhm Canzoni Di Buio E Luce CD

Lucio Leonardi's (Pluhm) superb third studio album 'Canzoni Di Buio E Luce' (Songs of Dark and Light), presents an intensely personal vision which he describes as "imaginary films of the inner self". With Lucio's recent output including acclaimed theatrical soundtrack work, this sense of storytelling certainly resonates powerfully throughout. A classically trained pianist, Lucio fashions this immersive musical expression through a seductive blend of hazy ambient drone and neoclassical piano phrases. The tone is an intriguing blend of distant and flawed textures, and we become slowly gripped as it masterfully builds to a succession of warmly melancholic crescendos. With previous incarnations spanning the Italian indie scene, including PHOTOGRAPHS (dark idm pop), Mens Alio (psychedelic rock), and Cave of spleen (post metal), we can see how Lucio constantly shifts and seeks out new musical horizons.
