Huge Tip! **200 copies** Eprc is a project by Roberto Crippa and Elisabetta Porcinai that exists between Berlin, Milan and London - a collaboration rooted in improvisation that has gradually distanced itself from the artists' respective practices, grounded in sound art, performance, visual art, and poetry, and evolved into a language and narrative of its own. In their work, the body is the starting point from which to measure and explore the world. Sensory perceptions and inner landscapes are distilled into sonic sceneries punctuated by words, inscribed in an artistic practice that hovers between instant composition, poetry, songwriting, and sound synthesis. Written, produced, and mixed between Milan and Berlin during 2023 and 2024, "Bodies" is an exploration of haunting aural terrains that ventures in the liminal interstices of thought and experience – be it real, dreamed, or imagined. Materiality, space, and the human body – in Eprc’s work, sound is a vessel to probe reality, manifested through a narrative that is at once visceral and eerily abstract. Through sculpted rhythmic elements, droning tones, and voice as a counterpoint, their music conjures a moment in time, a daydream, the light flickering under your eyelids, a night drive, a landscape. Their 9-track suite "BODIES" emerges as a balancing act, or rather a power play, hovering between fragility and sheer violence, intended as both destructive force and vital elan.

Dematerialized synth compositions and rarefied choral harmonies alternate with pulsating percussion and raw distortion throughout the album. From the obsessive reiteration of "Sometimes" and the Sibylline verses of "I know we exist," to the hypnagogic recollections of "Calm and silver" and "Dark Red," each track enshrines a world and a story of its own. “Bodies” is ultimately a call to give up control and make room for desire.
