Bachi Da Pietra

Bachi da Pietra (the stone worms) is a two-men band whose mesmerizing music wraps around tunes of desolate candour and lyrics as dark and allegorical as broken love. A relentless drumming hovers over a huge wash of ride cymbal and a deep, plaintive voice, which is able to capture sadness, anger and yearning. The whole album is a visceral emotional journey: the dissonant blues-based songs are centered around the steady drone of the singer's voice, a trance-inducing vocal presence singing of grim meditations on life that are crafted and performed with inarguable skill and disarming sincerity.
