Earthly Powers

Run
2020 release ** "Essential and colorful. The Brightest Room's cover art is perfectly in sync with the music of the Milanese quartet. This spartan rigor is also evident in the choice of titles for their second album, which entrust a single word with t…

Acini
2018 release ** "In this new album, Saporiti chooses a register that resembles a caress on a defeated face, a balm for past wounds that still hurt, reflected in the incisive yet never overbearing arrangements, with a balance that ends up appearing co…
Bisognava Dirlo A Tuo Padre Che A Fare Un Figlio Con Uno Schizofrenico Avremmo Creato Tutta Questa Sofferenza
