Reue um
Reue is very proud to present the first vinyl mini-LP by the mysterious
Italian one-man project SPETTRO FAMILY, following the much acclaimed
tape album “Candelora” published last year on Brave Mysteries. It might
be because he has been living in a presumably haunted house all his life
that SPETTRO FAMILY succeeds in creating seemingly without effort the
most truly haunting music, both bringing back to life the magic of
GOBLIN’s giallo/zombie flick soundtracks, and channelling the spirits of
the big synth-worshipping Italian post-industrialists (think RUNES
ORDER or GERSTEIN). But the wraiths inhabiting this particular album
come from further east: “La Famiglia Spettro” was inspired by a journey
through Transylvania and carries in its subtle analogue synthscapes,
achingly beautiful piano melodies, soft crackling gramophone sounds and
spectral voices all the flavour of a decadent old world, and such an
intense sense of sadness and nostalgia that it might very well bring you
face to face with your own ghosts.
