According to the artist description accompanying the release: “‘Àmor’ is a pure rush of passion and irresistibly sexy! The burning pulse of the sun’s nuclear fire scorching the desert. The smooth sliding of glistening skin over other skin in a throbbing rhythm. The swelling hum of motion in a mass of bodies. KLIMT 1918 capture many such fleeting moments in time and preserve them through cascading walls of sound and the elegant drone of guitars. The Italian’s fifth album, ‘Àmor,’ represents a climax of their acclaimed previous work into a most melancholic, sensual, and majestic collection of captivating music.“
The band explains that, “‘Àmor’ was born out of silence, solitude, and social distancing. Yet, as a deliberate artistic counterpoint, KLIMT 1918 chose to revolve all new songs around carnality, ardour, physical contact between bodies, and the urgent, compelling feelings that keep people awake at night. The album’s production quality is notably marked by collaboration with renowned engineers Tony Doogan and Frank Arkwright (Abbey Road Studios), cementing its status as a monumental artistic achievement. As stated: “Although it took plenty of time, diligence, and energy, ‘Àmor’ proves with every second that the album is more than worth this long wait. KLIMT 1918 take their raw emotionality expressed in dynamic, glowing soundscapes rather than fixed structures and calculated hooks to another peak!”
Probably Italy’s most renowned Indie-Rock export, this band inimitably conjoins the melancholy of The Cure and Tears For Fears, the playfulness of Dredg, and the yearning of classic U2 recordings with the euphoria of a Post-Rock crescendo and the energy of groups such as Katatonia and Anathema. This sounds unique? It is unique!
