This is the third full-length of Italian project Albireon. Since 1998 Albireon have developed a heartfelt and clear sound with acoustic guitar and keyboards. They have previously collaborated with Vittorio Vandelli (Ataraxia), Ian Read (Fire + Ice) and Sonne Hagal. In 2008 Albireon completed the "I passi di Li�", their definitive emotional masterwork. This is an album of mournful laments, remembering a lost beloved one, and is led by Davide Borghi's solemn voice. This nostalgic, evocative work leans towards Ambient and Post-Rock sounds, with ethereal moments and will appeal to fans of early Current 93.
