MARTA DEL GRANDI – Antarctica

Italian singer-songwriter Marta Del Grandi returns with ‘Dream Life’, an album that bustles in a field of dreams, a multi-dimensional panoramic snapshot punctuated with serene disillusionment, that transcends musical boundaries as personal hopes and aspirations are cast against the vastness of the stars and beyond.  Listen/pre-order here: https://MartaDelGrandi.lnk.to/DreamLi…

The record opens with ‘Antarctica’, addressing the world’s ethical dilemma and shaking us out of our comfort zone with a riff reminiscent of Talking Heads in their prime, infused with Laurie Anderson-like abstract phrasing: “Antarctica is a track that found its shape during a late evening solo session, when a melody I had in mind for days naturally fell on top of a sequencer I was playing around with. It’s a song that I particularly love, talking about climate and social injustice with a playful and non-literal language.” – Marta Del Grandi

The album reflects a growing awareness that we cannot fully control the future or the outcome of our plans. This thread weaves throughout the record, a journey that is poetic, ironic, and deeply grounded in the present.   “A singer-songwriter who seems to come from an imaginary land.”  Rolling Stone
