Lunaires
(black) If All The Ice Melted
Lunaires is a project by Danilo Carnevale and Patrizia Tranchina, ex-members of Jeunesse d'Ivoire, one of the most legendary Italian '80s wave acts. It's an emotional album about challenging struggles and definitive departures - an eyewitness account of losing battles with mortality and the small changes beginning healing process. Lunaires is the departure of a long musical journey which embodies and testifies two very distant and still related musical eras, that of the crudest and most innocent post-punk of thirty years ago and today's electronica, with little hints to psychedelica, shoegaze and krautrock. Having experienced the beginnings of post-punk in real time as forerunners allows Lunaires a long look and a musical richness not easily found in contemporary bands.
