Italian Instrumental Progressive Rock project Valerian Swing published the official music video for the track “Indigo” feat. Giovanna Cacciola and taken from new album “Liminal” out on June 21, 2024 via Pax Aeternum Digital. Watch the video through the YouTube player below:
As the feature on “Badman (Ting)” from Grammy award-winning UK Grime artist Flowdan might suggest, it would be misleading to label Valerian Swing as a Rock band at this stage of their career. The trio’s fourth album, “Liminal,” is threaded with influences from Contemporary Film Score, Jazz and Electronic Music, as well as Math and Post-Rock.
“Liminal” is an album where dub co-exists with Post-Rock melodies, where rapid-fire Jazz drumming is set alongside rich orchestration, and shimmering synths snake between layers of bass, drums and guitar. It’s a wonderful marriage of the electronic, synthetic and acoustic elements, a record operating at the edge of things, pushing out into new forms of art and music.
Such ambition and eclecticism has certainly paid off, as this expansive and cinematic record positions Valerian Swing as one of the most exciting contemporary acts in Europe.
