FEDERICO ALBANESE BLACKBIRDS & THE SUN OF OCTOBER Limited Vinyl 2LP Set
Overview:
Sony Classical is pleased to announce the release of Blackbirds And The Sun Of October, the new album from Italian artist, producer, pianist and composer Federico Albanese. With over 400K Spotify monthly listeners, Albanese returns with his fifth studio album. Blackbirds and the Sun Of October was inspired by – and entirely written and recorded in Albanese’s home region of Monferrato in Northern Italy. “It’s an album about coming home, and reconnection,” he says. “Above all, about heritage.” This release marks a new chapter in his already stellar career. Restlessly creative, Albanese’s ever-evolving quest for new sounds and experimentation has been more extensive than most. After an early childhood playing piano, he became interested in jazz, picking up the clarinet, before a teenage fascination with punk rock bands led to him learning bass guitar. Later still, he devoured the new-age music of the late 90s, immersing himself in the works of artists such as Brian Eno and William Basinski.
