GIANCARLO ERRA

(ITALY) Ends (2019)
ALBUM / KSCOPE / ATMOSPHERIC ROCK

If you are sensitive to melancholic atmospheres, you could be trapped by the nostalgic beauty of "Ends", which proves that beautiful things can be done with few resources deployed.

VINC2

(FRANCE) Rescued From Drowning (2018)
ALBUM / AUTOPRODUCTION / POST ROCK

Despite the quasi all-instrumental, a certain minimalism and the slow tempo of most of the tracks, "Rescued From Drowning" is very varied and its cinematic character allows the listener to travel with serenity.

CROSS & BOOKER

(UNITED KINGDOM) Ends Meeting (2018)
ALBUM / CHERRY RED RECORDS / PROGRESSIVE ROCK

"Ends Meeting" distills a pleasure that is born more from the perception of the work of the two musicians than from the melodies that remain in the background.
