Spiral 69 (I)

Info

(myspace) Spiral69 is back, with a draft between new / dark wave pop by Riccardo Sabetti. "No Paint on the Wall" is his second album, produced by Megasound and distributed by Zebralution / Megasound. It has been almost two years since his last work, "A Filthy Lesson for Lovers" (Megasound 2009).

During this time something has changed. Locked in a room with no light, the music of Spiral69 comes out of a chrysalis and becomes more aggressive towards itself. Torn by troubled thoughts, within the walls of that room abused to understand or escape fears and weaknesses, the sound of "No Paint on the Wall" ends up creating a gathering of eleven ballads that smell of sex and desperation. Then the perspective changes: love becomes a forfait to pay, God is an enemy, death is the only way to understand that we are alive, sex is an obsession. "No Paint on the Wall" is the evolution in style and composition given by the making of the tracks "on the road".

It was during the previous tours, promoting earlier albums, in fact, that teamwork was key - unlike the previous album (written, arranged and played by Riccardo Sabetti) - Licia Missori is at the piano, Stefano Conigliaro on drums and Enzo Russo on guitars. Bass and piano become key instruments in the album, rhythmic power and tenacity define their outlines. The melody of bows (Andrea Ruggiero) weaves its sweetness and a deeper voice, emotionally louder, retains it all, representing the mood of the solution and the synthesis of Spiral69.

Spiral69 was founded in 2007 as a solo project by Riccardo Sabetti (Pixel, Argine) who leaves dark, industrial and synth pop after falling in love with the alchemy of visceral and bittersweet sessions that assembles guitar, piano and violin. It extrapolates the melodies of passion, keeping grain flows and gothic neo-romantics, focusing on a path of pop and new wave. As a consequence of the success received in Italy and abroad for "A Filthy Lesson for Lovers", in October 2010 Spiral69 was noticed and invited by Steve Hewitt (Placebo old drummer) to be the guest band for his Italian tour. "No Paint on the Wall" has allowed Spiral69 to take stock and be proud of himself: his sound, resembling Joy Division, The Cure, Nick Cave, Placebo and the darker new wave of the first 80, assumes his defined identity.
