Italian postpunk-darkwave-electro trio Vonamor has unleashed a pulsating and enthralling new single, "You The People", the second taste of its debut eponymous LP set for release on 18 February via Time To Kill Records.
This dark and defiant song speaks of a world - the one we call home - where human lives are severely challenged by unintelligible and deeply rooted mechanisms of power, submission and protest. The track combines male and female vocals in a dialogue that is dense and full of tension, where English and Italian tongues intertwine with both hammering electronic sounds and the smooth sounds of saxophone, clarinet and flute - with the intentions of dragging the listener into a maelstrom of emotion.
"You The People" underlines Vonamor's dialecticism and style, as well as their will to convey originality and sensuality, even when menacing, with passion and intensity. Eternally playing with words and sounds, they never lose sight of the rhythmic, Dyonisian and captivating soul of their electro dark, post-punk vision.
"Through our darkwave music and words, we search for the question, the ambiguity, the multiform influence of a variety of demons. We feel the urgency of questioning ourselves, our fellow human beings and the reality around us," says Giulia Bottaro.
This new offering follows up the lead track "Take Your Heart" and its intriguing video, while last year, the trio released two singles: "Never Betray Us" and "Fast-Forward Girl".
Vonamor is made up of sisters Giulia Bottaro (voice, bass, metal flute) and Francesca Bottaro (drum station, sequencer, sax, clarinet) and vocalist Luca Guidobaldi, with Francesco Bassoli (guitars and loops) and Martino Cappelli (guitars, mandolin, bouzouki, oud, loops) joining the trio for live performances. The band's roots date back to 2016 in Rome. Initially focused on communicating images and composing scores for short films, they morphed into the trio we know today with their taste and allure, literary echoes, imperious art-pop and enigmatic aesthetics.
"Vonamor is an escape plan, our treasure island, a thick and savage jungle that gives you the chance to let your prayers and whispers reverberate like a church. We used the music in this album to walk paths that we hadn't known before, to connect Rome to Paris to Berlin to Beijing, to mix techno music with folk, to let our voices and bodies mingle and dance to an incredibly weird yet familiar beat, and finally to search for a boom of love and light into the dark of our everyday life: yes, Vonamor is a boom!" says Luca Guidobaldi.
