After a decade of crafting a very particular type of widescreen melancholia and wistful imagery, Nosound’s fifth studio album Scintilla introduces a wholly new musical and visual approach for Giancarlo Erra’s ever-evolving band.
Influenced by post-rock, shoegaze and alternative-singer-songwriters, he uses an almost entirely acoustic sound palette for Scintilla: a cathartic album of emotional extremes that features guest vocals from Anathema’s Vincent Cavanagh and Andrea Chimenti. It is an experimental record with a focus on feeling rather than technique, marking the brave beginning of the second era of Nosound’s fascinating career.
