Italy&#8217;s Alessandro Mercanzin imagines a visionary dystopia where a solitary figure navigates an inhospitable post-nuclear desert. It\u2019s a hypnotic land of cold haunted nights, lonely red vistas and somber personal solitude.<\/p>\n<p><BR>Alex reflects, &#8220;<B>Desolation and Radiation<\/B> is a wordless vision of a lost world from the future. To me it&#8217;s melancholy, filled with lost dreams. With a ghostly sound in my mind, I wanted to pull off dark intriguing riffs, and I found I could say a lot of things with a few whispered notes from my guitars. These songs paint dramatic scenes that take me to a reverb-drenched wasteland in a parallel world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><BR>Aided by producer Maurizio Baggio (recently producing Soft Moon, Boy Harsher, &#038; Nuovo Testamento) Alex plays with genres including the Giallo-pulp that scored his personal musical evolution while toying, avoiding and embracing the clich\u00e9s of Italian Spaghetti Westerns. The adventurous sound of the album is coaxed from various guitars, vintage instruments, reverbs, and the marranzanu (a traditional Sicilian harp.) Alex plays most of the instruments and is augmented by Maurizio\u2019s vintage synths and old 60s organs, Michele Tedesco\u2019s trumpets on &#8220;Nowhere to Ride,&#8221; and Stefano Miozzo\u2019s pedal steel guitar on &#8220;Far from Here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><BR>In the end, <B>Desolation and Radiation<\/B> has its veiled message: a warning to prevent the mistakes of the past from transforming our present into a terrifying future. <\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udd3a\ud83d\udd3b\ud83d\udd3a\ud83d\udd3b\ud83d\udd3a\ud83d\udd3b\ud83d\udd3a\ud83d\udd3b\ud83d\udd3a\ud83d\udd3b\ud83d\udd3a\ud83d\udd3b\ud83d\udd3a\ud83d\udd3b\ud83d\udd3a\ud83d\udd3b<br \/>\nDELREI: Guitars, Bass, Synth, Drums, Harmonica<br \/>\n<BR>\ud83c\udf9b\ufe0f Produced , engineered and mixed by Maurizio Baggio (@Dj Spada) from &#8220;La Distilleria Produzioni Musicali&#8221;.<br \/>\n<BR>So so so many thanks to these great people that helped me throughout this journey :<br \/>\n<BR>Stefano Miozzo : Pedal steel on song \u201cFar from here\u201d<br \/>\nMichele Tedesco : Trumpets on song \u201cNowhere to ride\u201d<br \/>\nMarco Rapisarda : Mentoring &#038; Consulting<br \/>\nLucrezia Pegoraro : Photography<br \/>\nRiccardo Michelazzo : Artwork<br \/>\nFlybyartist digital creator : Artwork<\/p>\n<h3>Projekt release: July 7, 2023<\/h3>\n<div class=\"socials\"><h2>love it, share it<\/h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Farc00279%2F&t=Delrei%3A+Desolation+and+Radiation+%28Digital%29\" class=\"socials-small facebook-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Facebook\" >facebook<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Farc00279%2F&text=Delrei%3A+Desolation+and+Radiation+%28Digital%29\" class=\"socials-small twitter-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Twitter\" >twitter<\/a>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Farc00279%2F&media=https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/ARC00279.jpg&description=++\" class=\"socials-small pinterest-small\"  onclick=\"window.open(this.href); return false;\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Pinterest\" >pinterest<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Farc00279%2F&title=Delrei%3A+Desolation+and+Radiation+%28Digital%29\" class=\"socials-small google-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Google\" >google<\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> <a href=https:\/\/projektrecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/desolation-and-radiation TARGET=BLANK><IMG SRC=\/store\/assets\/images\/Button-Bandcamp.png width=129><\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":27329,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[105,25,992],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-27328","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-alternative-rock","product_cat-darkwave","product_cat-delrei","pa_artist-delrei","pa_format-digital","pa_label-projekt-archive","pa_release-year-924","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","product-type-simple","border"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/27328","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27328"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27329"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27328"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=27328"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=27328"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=27328"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
