KIRLIAN CAMERA, the avant-garde musical innovators, are offering a tantalizing preview of their highly anticipated album, ‘Radio Signals for the Dying.’ This sneak peek comes in the form of the single “Il Tempo Profondo (Radio Signal Version)” and its visually immersive counterpart, the video for “Il Tempo Profondo (Dark Psychedelia Vision).” Lead vocalist Elena Alice Fossi guides us into the profound concept of ‘deep time,’ portraying it as the expansive temporal dimension where humanity is intricately interwoven with Earth and geological forces.
In her insightful commentary, Fossi delves into the intricate layers of this concept, highlighting it as the vast canvas upon which human experience unfolds. The focus is on liberation from the cyclic patterns of existence, a wheel perpetuated by the self-centered desires of humanity. Within this framework, “Il Tempo Profondo” becomes more than a song; it emerges as a sonic exploration of the human condition, grappling with notions of hatred, craving, and delusion that persist within the intricate tapestry of existence.
This single, “Il Tempo Profondo,” is not just a standalone release but the herald of a larger musical narrative. It stands as the lead track from the much-anticipated double album, “Radio Signals for the Dying.” For eager listeners, this transformative musical journey is available for pre-order on CD and limited vinyl through Dependent Records. The album is poised for a grand unveiling on February 23rd, 2024, promising an immersive experience that transcends the boundaries of conventional musical expression.
As KIRLIAN CAMERA continues to push the boundaries of sonic artistry, “Il Tempo Profondo” beckons listeners to embark on a unique odyssey, exploring the depths of time and the human psyche. The accompanying video, “Il Tempo Profondo (Dark Psychedelia Vision),” adds a visual dimension to this sonic exploration, creating a multi-sensory experience that captivates and challenges perceptions. With this release, KIRLIAN CAMERA once again establishes themselves as pioneers of avant-garde sound, inviting audiences to step beyond the ordinary into a realm of musical transcendence.
