My Review - Iamnoone - melancholia

 Iamnoone - melancholia

Iamnoone - Melancholia

There is a contemplative planet that collects and welcomes and never discards, preferring to let situations mature and find the right moment to dress them up and put them out on the streets of the world.

This is the case with these six songs by Iamnoone, written during the period of 'the joy of sorrow', which, once established in our ears, develop a visual possibility that connects with other artistic modalities, revealing a sweetness, a richness made of simplicity dense with legacies, because in the end they are like 'thousand letters' around, able to reach their destination leaving messages, souls in turmoil, stories and an evident spirituality within reach of an intimate but spacious dance.

The night, a place often experienced, mentioned and explored by the duo in compositions designed to warm the heart, finds here a reserve that does not melt away with repeated listening, giving the six compositions a mysterious, intense and enchanting veil.

The 1980s, with Italy Disco Dance and velvety minimal wave pieces, flow through the grooves like temporal embraces, like bundles of grass seeking an embrace.

The perfect production offers the possibility of experiencing a long piece with six branches, surrounding the environment of reality and leading it into an aesthetic and predominant ability to combine it with dreamlike aspects.

In all this, the lowest common denominator is memory, with its flights, dives, journeys, and the unquestionable desire to protect the meaning of life, reproducing flavours, tastes, effervescence and, ultimately, a nourishing melancholy rather than a trap...

Seth and Philip inhabit life as an update of beauty and wealth, leaving traces of wonder in their every movement.

An EP that is ultimately a mnemonic and photographic album, inclined towards the black and white of the soul without any shame, giving us a free breath to live in the nocturnal warmth of attentive souls…
