Oscillating between the rich realms of indie and soul, dusted with Jazz, painted with Folk and studded with psychedelic tendencies all encompassed in an eclectic 90’s soundscape, Eugenia Post Meridiem (EPM) have returned with their kaleidoscopic new single and video ‘willpower’. Marking a glorious and triumphant return, the Italian based 4-piece band have embarked on their next journey through the musical cosmos as they prepare to reveal their sophomore album like i need tension.
Featuring the instantly recognisable vocals of Eugenia, backed up by the endless talent that is Matteo (bass), Giovanni (guitar, keys) and Matteo (drums, percussion) they boast a completely fresh, unpredictable and incredible exciting new sound. EPM’s music is quite simply unlike any other, with subtle hints of Hiatus Kaiyote and Christine and the Queens, they remain completely unique yet carry the same weight, attitude and ‘turning of the tide’ nature that saw these bands soar to success. With no doubt in our minds that EPM will follow the same trajectory, keep your eyes pealed as they begin to share more of their artistry.
Premiering here first, watch the official music video for ‘willpower’ below:
“Willpower was the first piece we composed after “Life Sleeper”, it was developed from a composition of Matteo (drums) and then reworked in different moments from 2019 to 2021, till the recording sessions.
This song tells something about the onset of a precious thought in the mind of a teenager which keeps growing until it’s shared. Then it starts to insinuate in other minds, as an intuition, a desire, a hope, a fear, or something we always look up to.
In the verses the music reflects the growth of these thoughts through a chord progression that never resolves, then the change of the harmony in the chorus creates a different background (like the change of mind in which these thoughts are growing) and in the final chorus the music develops as if it’s a “shared experience” of minds, a communion of thoughts.”
