Corde Oblique - "A step to lose the balance"

Corde Oblique, ethereal progressive neofolk bands from Italy. They are the solo project of Riccardo Prencipe (composer, art historian) with vocal contributions from numerous female singers and actresses. After seven albums the project began to change its skin and proposed “FolkGaze” sounds, a cross between folk and shoegazer.

Graduated in classical guitar from the Conservatory of Naples San Pietro a Majella, since 2000 Prencipe has released eight albums, distributed in Europe and worldwide by record companies in different countries (Russia, China, Germany, France and Portugal), all excellently reviewed by critics.

The original pieces proposed by the ensemble speak of the history of Italian art and of a “wild and talented” South.

Body and sound depth that blend perfectly with a good dose of fluidity and an intense sound impact are the main details that make listening pleasant. The guitars mix well, roughensing the atmosphere thus enhancing the listening.

It is not the usual trivial proposal, not even obvious, although the genre is now full of more or less valid proposals. “A step to lose the balance” amazes positively for simplicity and naturalness managing to involve and drag the listener towards dimensions pleasant.
