Prepare to be enveloped in the ethereal soundscapes of Bosco Sacro as the Italian dark folk/doomgaze quartet presents its new single and video, "The Future Past". This track is a first glimpse into the band's forthcoming live album, Live At Chiesa Armena, due on 18 April via Go Down Records.
Known for its evocative and deeply immersive sound, Bosco Sacro has once again crafted a sonic journey that transcends traditional genre boundaries.
"'The Future Past' is the fastest composition we've ever made, and one of our all-time favourites", the band states. "It reached its final form in just a couple of hours of rehearsal and it was literally inspired by the time we spent together during our residency at Villa Albrizzi Marini. The song started to take shape one afternoon while the four of us silently explored the corners and details of the magic little church, pacing its floor up and down. At a certain point, we found ourselves chanting all together. The day after, we proposed again this experience during our live performance, specifically at the very beginning: an a cappella intro functioning as a gentle way to ask permission to this sacred place, before delivering our electric flow of music."
2024 marked a pivotal period for Bosco Sacro, dedicated to honing its live performance and collaborative songwriting. The challenge of geographical distance and diverse commitments was met with focused dedication, culminating in the creation of Live At Chiesa Armena. This live album serves as a crucial bridge between the band's acclaimed debut, Gem, and their anticipated sophomore studio album.
The album captures the essence of a residency curated by Go Down Records within the historic Villa Albrizzi Marini. Immersed in the villa's serene ambience and the spiritual resonance of its chapel, the band forged a deeper connection through shared moments of contemplation and intense rehearsal sessions. Link
