Архив новостей | Русская версия
Richard Barbieri has announced that he’ll release his third solo album early next year.
Titled "Planets + Persona", it’ll launch on March 3 via Kscope.
Known for his work with JAPAN and PORCUPINE TREE, Barbieri’s follow-up to 2008’s Stranger Inside is said to be “his most sonically expansive work to date.”
A statement on the album continues: “Vintage analogue synthesisers combine with acoustic performances and jazz elements.
“Twisted voices are always present, though not in a language we can recognise. Barbieri skilfully utilises the talents of a pan-European core of musicians to produce an album that marries synthesised sounds with organic instrumentation to conjure up vivid, colourful and allusive soundscapes.
“It’s a skilful commingling of texture and tone, mood and musicality.”
To mark the announcement, Barbieri has also issued a teaser video for the record, featuring snippets of all seven tracks. Listen to them here.
Pre-orders for Planets + Persona are now open, with the CD featuring a 16-page booklet with studio shots and photographic scenes taken in Iceland. The 2LP version presented in double gatefold sleeve and pressed on heavyweight 180g vinyl.
