a narrative that is at once visceral and eerily abstract. Through sculpted rhythmic elements, droning tones, and voice as a counterpoint, their music conjures a moment in time, a daydream, the light flickering under your eyelids, a night drive, a landscape. Their 9-track suite BODIES emerges as a balancing act, or rather a power play, hovering between fragility and sheer violence, intended as both destructive force and vital elan. Dematerialized synth compositions and rarefied choral harmonies alternate with pulsating percussion and raw distortion throughout the album”. Das Album erscheint Anfang September als LP und digital, der Track “Sometimes” ist bereits erhältlich.

“Aperture is a current studio and live project created by Italian born/Berlin based siblings Emanuele and Elisabetta Porcinai. [...] Their music explores tension between hushed intimate spoken vocals and singing amidst detailed soundscapes of guitars, bass and percussion soaked in electronically derived detailing, working with a reduced brittle instrumentation that at first calls to mind the more subdued moments of Sonic Youth’s 1st album and the quiet tension of the dreamy parts of Sister, the non-bombastic and tense subtleties in the low passages of Slint and that band’s off-shoot The For Carnation, a music that sounds as afloat as it evokes walking-on-eggshells in a very quiet room. A somnambulant atmosphere which seems to teeter as if it could explode and shatter at any moment, but doesn’t. In the course of the 9 tracks on this remarkable and unique album we are presented with a perfectly considered, fastidiously composed and produced song cycle”. (Stray Signals)
