We’re happy to announce we signed Goodbye, Kings from Milan.
The postrock ensamble recorded an incredible Post-rock journey through the seasons and will be released in late May 2022.
“THE CLICHÉ OF FALLING LEAVES” (the opera) will be available on Vinyl LP, Digifile CD with featured movie inside and Digital.
Here is the press kit infos by the band:
“THE CLICHÉ OF FALLING LEAVES” IS THE FOURTH ALBUM FROM THE “POST- ROCK POETS” OF LOMBARDY GOODBYE, KINGS, THE MILANESE MUSIC ENSEMBLE THAT CONTAMINATE THEIR INSTRUMENTAL ROCK WITH THE INFLUENCES OF JAZZ, POST-ROCK AND FOLK IN A FORMULA DEFINED AS “INSTRUMENTAL SOUNDTRACK FOR A NEVER MADE EUROPEAN RETRO MOVIE”.
THIS TIME AN ACTUAL MOVIE IS ALSO PART OF THE SPECTACLE.
THE ALBUM IS BASED ON ONE SINGLE PIÈCE OF MUSIC, ON THE BASIS OF A SYMPHONIC POEM, BASED ON A NARRATIVE SCHEME AND RECURRENT PATTERNS. SIXTEEN MUSICIANS COLLABORATED TO THIS 43 MINUTES SUITE, FROM HORNS, CLARINETS, SAXES, DOUBLE-BASSES AND MANY OTHER CLASSICAL TIMBERS. GOODBYE, KINGS BECAME A MASSIVE ART-ROCK ORCHESTRA FOR THE OCCASION, ENLIGHTINING ALL THE POST-ROCK SPECTRUM AND PRODUCING A CONCEPT MOVIE PERFORMED BY CONTEMPORARY DANCERS.
THE SEASONS OF NATURE AND LIFE FOUND THEIR ICONIC REPRESENTATION IN ANCIENT MYTHS, MEMORIES AND CULTURES BUT ALL OF THEM WERE PART OF A GREAT CYCLE OF DEATH AND REBIRTH.THE LEAVES THAT FALL ARE STILL THE ICONIC VISUALIZATION OF THE THINGS THAT END, A CLICHÈ THAT WAS USED BY MANY POETS, AN ANCIENT AND VERY COMMON METAPHOR FOR POETRY AND EXISTENCE ITSELF.
