With Schonwald, we find the European Post punk at its peak! Alessandra and Luca create a pulsation, an electronic vibration, atmospheric, black, so cold, which crashes on shiny, hypnotic and melancholic guitars. The perfect match for our modern world, frozen for ever, and with an obvious effectiveness. With the artistic promise to make a step forward from the gloomy shades, their new album transforms dark into psychedelic drone made of shimmering ethereal movements, strongly inspired by a brighter nocturnal dance, making in particular "Love Collides" an ideal new start. Significantly, the songs favour imagery of love-passion lasting over time. The massive melodies replacing the claustrophobic, smothering mood of previous Schonwald work. It is a new-found appreciation of space, and the actual melody itself, infused with a kind of vainglorious mix of Shoegaze, Darkwave and Dream Pop.
