Not A Good Sign - Icebound (2018)

“Icebound” is seen by the band as a turning point, thanks to the changes of the line up (Zago and Calandriello leave the project and replaced by the eclectic Gian Marco Trevisan) but also thanks to the musical choices. In this album Paolo Botta works out his creativity giving a suggestive atmosphere and an incredible musical variety offered by the already set marriage of Malacrida, Cassani & Trevisan but also by the guests David Jackson (Van Der Graaf Generator), Eloisa Manera (Artchipel Orchestra) and Fabio “Ciro” Ceriani (Ein Kerem). The music gets even more complex, ambitious and at times abstract album. As usual, it's not really a concept album, even if the topics covered tend to be linked together, creating a cohesive and tormented narrative path.
