Over the past 3 months, we’ve covered the incredible trajectory of Italian indie band Eugenia Post Meridiem as they’ve been sharing carefully laid breadcrumbs. Beginning with the dream-like nature of ‘willpower’, followed with the percussive ‘around my neck’ and most recently the soft and alluring ‘whisper’.
Now they are ready to share their sophomore album, a succulent smorgasbord of tone, texture and sound – like i need a tension is available everywhere now.
Featuring the three previously released tracks, like i need a tension is accompanied by lead single ‘crucial spring’ and a further 4 more never before heard tunes. Each one a unique slice of ingenuity, Eugenia Post Meridiem seemingly create an entirely new entity with every offering. Each track has it’s own energy, character and aura, representing a new wave to get lost in with every ebb and flow of the musical tide. Simply put, this project is an incredible collection of music, made to be dived into and enjoyed without coming up for air.
Eugenia Post Meridiem are a band on the brink of brilliance and like i need a tension is a true testament to their talent – an album unlike any other.
“This song is clearly divided into two parts: the tension and the tendency towards fragmentation is evident here as well. These two parts are however internally highly compact and coherent. The whole song is built on the contrast of atmospheres and meanings they create, opposing and complementing each other. The first half is night, that rest and shelter, that sickness, that concealment, that closure, that great winter someone has longed for, like a great need and secret, a great promise made in her/his childhood. This darkness rests in a cocoon, but soon blows up right in the middle of the song, when a wide open door turns everything upside down. Clear, airy sounds can now take you on a liberating sprint into an unprecedented warmth, into a return of sight. This crucial sight brings into view only what makes us necessary to the world. Then we see the world that is necessary to us.” – Eugenia Post Meridiem
