Aufgenommen in Isolation während einer globalen Pandemie, ist New Earth eine dunkle Italo-Platte, die mit Licht durchtränkt ist. Auf den acht neuen Tracks halten tanzende Synthesizer perfekt die Balance zwischen dem reichen Traum von einem verzauberten Leben und Melancholie. Die Gitarren sind einen Schritt zurück getreten, so dass Disco-Beats den Boden fluten und fröhlicher Spaß vorherrscht. Die Platte nimmt eine Rückkehr in die Tanzräume vorweg, imaginiert gemeinsame Erlebnisse und zelebriert die persönliche Kraft.
Sales Information:
Nuovo Testamento is the Los Angeles & Bologna-based trio featuring members of Horror Vacui, Sheer Mag, Tørsö, Terremoto and Crimson Scarlet.
With the addition of Chelsey Crowley on vocals, synthesists Andrea Mantione & Giacomo Zatti found that their initial coldwave tracks, originally written for the male voice, took on an undeniable synthpop feel. While still recording these songs for the debut Exposure EP in 2019, the band leaned into this evolution and their shared love of Italo disco, beginning to write what would become the New Earth LP.
Recorded in isolation during a global pandemic, New Earth is a dark Italo record dappled with light. For eight new tracks, dancing synths perfectly balance the rich dream of a charmed life with melancholy. Guitars have taken a step back, allowing disco beats to flood the floor and joyful fun to prevail. The record anticipates a return to dance spaces, imagines shared experiences and celebrates personal power.
Produced by sound engineer Maurizio Baggio (The Soft Moon, Boy Harsher and many more), with vocal recording by Riki and featuring guest vocals from B. Sven Gustavson (Spectres, Nouveaux), New Earth reflects international influences from the goth club scene to Hi-NRG classics, reminiscent of Italian Baby Records, Mute Records and the spaces in between.
