Singer Elena Fossi describing their new album in an interview with German scene magazine Orkus:
The subtitle describes the feeling one can have when watching the sunrise in a deserted street after a long night without sleep. It is an almost tragic dawn, but one that stays with you for a long time, with its taste of malaise, drowsiness, cold and semi-despair. It is a dawn in which the sky reveals reddish scarlet layers, surrounded by a gloomy gray, with melancholy tones. We recognize in this image almost the end of the world as we know it, almost a painful photograph that evokes a futuristic and “intoxicated” decadence.
Another product of the global pandemic. This is a bit how it felt listening to this album, so Kirlian Camera succeeded in that. They didn’t succeed in captivating my attention though, even though I tried many times. Somehow it just doesn’t work for me. Some beautiful artwork is added though.
There is a curious article on Bandcamp, I suppose written by the band itself. The article claims that this is the darkest music they have created. I can tell you from experience, that is not the case. In their early days, they went much further, but that was also before the arrival of Fossi. I can imagine she wrote it, but I’m afraid it is aimed at people that just don’t know the existential darkness the band was coming from.
