We're at that season when, imperceptibly, autumn may slip away. As the days shorten and become more cloudy, windy and cold, the richness of this time of year will vanish, the landscape shedding its autumnal tones to reveal those of winter. With its generic fall foliage cover, the vanity release from Kris and Jerry captures these fleeting moments of beauty, when the leaves are turning to gold among a palette of vibrant yellow, russet and remaining green. Here is A Sunny Day, without the harsh glare of summer. Gentle breezes have escorted many leaves to the ground with the last warming rays. The low sun still retains radiance enough to brush the wooded peaks with brilliant light and the air is carrying with it ripe fragrances that tease the senses.
Arctic Plateau's debut album "On A Sad Sunny Day" contains timeless music somewhere between post rock, shoegaze, new wave, and indie, and it is characterised by Gianluca Divirgilio's incredible intuition for epic arrangements and structures. This album enchants you with an open, dream-like atmosphere and is marked by a fascinating ambivalence of hope and melancholy, euphoria and sadness. The artist himself refers to his compositions as 'music explicitly dreamed', and this description fits better to the sounds of this one-man project than any other.
