ANTARTE - Isole (Sealed) (CD)

Isole is the second album by Sicilian band Antarte.Italian post-rock -- half sung in Italian, half instrumental -- reminiscent of Slowdive, The Durutti Column, or A Silver Mt. Zion. Simple melodies in rich texture of stratified instrumental layers with different musical rhythms ranging from the psychedelic moods of "Oasi", through slower arpeggios to more experimental drifts such as "Senza Luna" and "Bolina", where synthesizers, bows, and double bass join guitars, a rhythm section, and a recurrent piano. Recorded and mixed in Agrigento (Sicily). Mastered by Simon Heyworth (SuperAudioMastering, Devon).
