Romanian avant-garde devotee Costin Chioreanu and unearthly Greek singer Sofia Sarri have joined forces to create a new visionary project on the debut album “Afterlife Romance”.
“The Gardenian Night Shift” has the ability to take you far away with a charming kaleidoscopic atmospheric approach that blends relaxing harmonies and enigmatic arrangements always enriched by the bewitching vocal delivery.
At the center of “Sulphur Promenade” there are intriguing jazz incursions that lead to a versatile instrumental ensemble mixing soothing phrases and haunting atmospheres while Sofia’s vocals showcase a compelling emotional energy as well as a theatrical flair during the quasi chaotic finale.
“A Blooming Moonflower” feels like a daydream with mellow comforting melodies and ethereal vocals flourishing through blurry atmospheres yet there are also some intense rhythmic crescendos that emphasize the presence of bittersweet feelings and darker nuances.
“Thanatoguards” focuses on a cathartic cinematic approach with loads of darkly romantic atmospheric layers and the impeccable clarity of vocals that can express a multitude of emotions while later the instrumental progressions will acquire borderline dissonant tonalities adding dramatic depth.
“The Glow Made Us Go” features understated tranquil atmospheric tapestries feeling like a sophisticated soundtrack but also some interesting guitar tonalities and unexpected rhythmic variations that symbolize the eclectic direction of the whole album.
Disregarding completely any music trend or categorization Costin Chioreanu and Sofia Sarri aim to experiment with diverse tonalities and styles, as a result the dreamy & moody soundscapes on “Afterlife Romance” ensure a unique listening experience.
