Italian cinematic outfit Calibro 35 presents their new album "Nouvelles Aventures". The album has just been released on digital platforms via Virgin Music Italy/Record Kicks and is also available internationally on limited edition crystal clear vinyl via Record Kicks. Among others it includes their recently published Single 'Gunpowder'
After last year’s Scacco Al Maestro, the 2 tribute-albums dedicated to “il maestro” Ennio Morricone, followed by the Calibro 35 plays Morricone tour and the releasing of the ost of TV drama series Blanca, Calibro 35 are back with new original material. It was recorded in Naples at Auditorium Novecento, the former Phonotype Records, one of the most legendary and fascinating Italian recording studios. The new LP sees the group making full use of their knowledge and resources, refined and enriched over the years, back to making "Calibro's music": a unique mix of funk, progressive rock, alternative jazz and wide-spectrum cinematic music the public has known them for in fifteen years of career.
“After a couple of intense and stimulating years playing Morricone and writing music for the TV drama Blanca”, Calibro 35 recounted, “we had a great desire to make new inspired music. To do so, we left home and we shut ourselves up in the splendid space-time capsule that is the Auditorium Novecento studio. The result is a series of musical voyages in which we concentrated all our artistic and human experiences. As in Verne's imaginary and extraordinary journeys, we explored distant places where we had never been before. We then happened to return to more familiar shores and discover them with new eyes without realizing it. We borrowed the title 'Nouvelles Aventures' from György Ligeti, precisely because after fifteen years of building ourselves, we are ready for new adventures”.
Described by Rolling Stone as "the most fascinating, retro-maniac and genuine thing that has happened to Italy in the past few years", Calibro 35 enjoy a worldwide reputation as one of the coolest independent bands around. Active since 2007, during their long career they were sampled by Dr. Dre on Compton (“One Shot One Kill” feat. Snoop Dogg), Jay Z (“Picasso Baby”), The Child of Lov & Damon Albarn (“One Day”) and Demigodz (“The Summer Of Sam”). They played major venues and festivals all over Europe and as unique musicians they collaborated with, amongst others, PJ Harvey, Mike Patton, John Parish, Stewart Copeland and Rokia Traoré.
We represent these songs in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
