LISTEN: GIOLÌ & ASSIA - INSTANTANEE [DIESIS RECORDS]
One of Italy’s hottest rising acts, Giolì & Assia have released their first full collaborative project since the inception of their partnership via their own label, Diesis Records. Instantanee serves as the follow up to their final single release, ‘Far Away Roads’, one of the more melodic tracks on the album. Inspired by society’s perpetual desire to capture fleeting moments in life on camera, Giolì & Assia named the album ‘Instantanee’ - the Italian word which translates to ‘polaroid’. ‘We equate the name ‘Istantanee’ to something immortal and immutable, yet pure and spontaneous at the same time.’
Now that the veil has been fully lifted, fans of the duo can enjoy the ins and outs of Istantanee’s shape-shifting sonic sphere. Long familiar with the cross sections between electronic and classical music, Giolì & Assia incorporated a mixture of classical and contemporary sounds within the foundation of the album. New, never-before-heard tracks include ‘Milky Way’, ‘Blame On Me’, and ‘Atypical’. The opening sequence, aptly titled ‘Java The Intro’, is a smooth electronica instrumental that introduces the LP with a subtle pang of feel-good energy. The trajectory of the tracks cover a wide range of human emotions in a way that feels natural throughout the course of the album.
