about

Taking inspiration from artists as diverse as Caroline Polachek, Kate Bush, Cigarettes After Sex, John Frusciante and Radiohead, Sandi’s creative output treads the fine line between dreampop, art pop and more traditional guitar-infused sounds to cast “gothic shadows over folk rock elements” (SKREEN B).

Sandi spent several years in Manchester in the UK, prompting her to expand her creative horizons and approaches to music. Shifting and developing from bedroom production and looping melancholic guitar melodies to working in partnership with producers has led to the development of her innovative and always-evolving sound. She has since returned to Rome to pursue a career in neuroscience research, but maintains her personal and musical connection with Manchester, returning there to record her music.

Arguably one of her most personal and introspective tracks, Silent Town’s soothing guitar tones and powerful percussion provide the perfect accompaniment to Sandi’s poetic lyrics and distinctive vocal stylings, the latter transitioning from calm and contemplative verses to thunderous chorus lines with ease. The meaning of the song is both multi-layered and highly relatable, as Sandi explains:

“Silent Town is about the eternal loneliness of the worried mind. It’s about those nights spent in your room feeling afraid of what’s out there and what’s inside of you. But it’s also about feeling hope from the outer world.

“A gust of wind can give you back life even for just a moment, reminding you that your anxieties are just something merely inside your head and that you can get out of that headspace and get some strength back in you. It’s about ephemeral certainties and about things you want to keep close and distant at the same time, it’s about losing control and gaining it back.”

Four tightly-packed leather-bound bangers arrive from the reconfigured and rejuvenated Dreams Divide.

Lyrics here pull double duty as political statements and commentary on interpersonal relationships. Welcome back and also, hello, to DD 2.0! thomas_newton
