Venice, Italy based Psychedelic/Stoner/Post-Rock trio Aktopasa has signed with Argonauta Records for the release of their new album “Journey To The Pink Planet.” Listen to the first single “Agarthi” through the YouTube player below:
Says the band: “Extremely excited to share the first single from Journey To The Pink Planet! Argonauta Records just published Agarthi on their YouTube channel, so go and listen to it now!“
Space Psychedelic act Aktopasa announce their deal with Argonauta Records. This three-men band was formed at the end of 2017 in the Venetian hinterland by Marco Sebastiano Alessi (drums), Lorenzo Barutta (lead guitar) and Silvio Tozzato (bass guitar).
‘Aktopasa’ (or ‘अक्टोपस’, if you prefer) means octopus in Nepalese. Nepal is a landlocked continental state where the highest mountains on Earth rise. Those who live in this country may not usually see octopuses, and probably, for these populations, the octopuses are not even a main topic in everyday conversations.
Aktopasa aims to represent something that is not trivial, but with a certain – irrational – logic: Psychedelic frequencies coming from mount Everest, a British coast or a Caribbean island, from the Underground or the outer Space, from a time not precisely defined.
Lineup:
Lorenzo Barutta / Guitar
Silvio Tozzato / Bass
Marco Sebastiano Alessi / Drums
