Based
in Lugano, Switzerland, Sofsky is a five-piece combo featuring a line
up of musicians who own extensive past musical experiences. Stefano
Chiassai (guitars) and Giona Mattei (bass), used to play with
the post-rock band KOVLO, which played several tours in mainland Europe,
and even travelled to China; Flavio Calaon (keys) was a member of the
duo Shindo, previously of Flanard, and also a soloist; Dimitri A.
(drums) is an eclectic figure into radically different music styles,
ranging from vintage goth to vintage rock’n’roll, and also a producer
for avantgarde Swiss jazz; Nick Poretti (vocals) was a former member of
the nu-prog band Plain, and is known for his collaborations with, among
others, Re-count and Stendeck.
SOFSKY was
born as a unique blend of all those experiences and
tastes, shifting comfortably from contemporary sound production to the
sonic landscapes of past decades: early Pink Floyds’s psychedelia, ’80s
post-punk (The Smiths, Joy Division), classic shoegaze (Slowdive, MBV),
and of course the post-rock influences already heard in Klovo (Mogwai,
Sigur Ros).
After releasing 3 digital singles – now enclosed as album’s bonus tracks – Sofsky recorded seven brand new songs at Laboratorio sperimentazione Sonora Nitön, Barasso (VA, Italy), with Luca Martegani
and Enrico Mangione taking production and mixing duties. Mastering was
in charge of Tony Cousins at Metropolis Studios in London.
This collection of songs is going to impress and charm with its wide soundscapes, an endless garden of sounds
and lyrics where thoughts are free to roam, exploring the many facets of emotions and existence, with their myriad of shades between black and white.
