Darkwave producer Torba has shared "Wire", the first track from his upcoming debut album, due out in early 2025 via numeronove.
The Italy-based producer (aka Luigi Pianezzola) and The Soft Moon's touring musician makes stark electronic tracks which pull from punk, industrial and club music while retaining a modern grit of his own and creating a distinct and destructive sound.
You can hear that delightful wrongness on the lead single "Wire" in its blown-out kick, wailing feedback and crushed percussion. The song is a dark inversion of a dance tune inspired by the wild nights out Pianezzola would find himself. "I was thinking about how much time I've spent in a club in a super deep situation. I'd ask myself why I do it - and then I'd do it again." He translates that pull to hedonism with mysterious and minimal lyricism, voice hidden behind effects.
The track was written by Pianezzola with the help of producer Maurizio Baggio (The Soft Moon, Boy Harsher), while the video was directed by Jacopo Dall'Agnol, who explains: "'Wire' is part of a trilogy of videos in which, through the use of artificial intelligence, we have brought disturbing gastronomic visions to life. Like a cover from the unforgettable 'Goosebumps' series, our dishes come to life, become anthropomorphic faces, and neurotically sing words they cannot be aware of. The choice of dishes and the aesthetic adopted are inspired by cookbooks and TV infomercials from the '80s and '90s, further contributing to immersing the viewer in Torba's unsettling atmospheres".
The forthcoming debut album follows the self-titled EP released in late 2023, where Pianezzola discovered his signature approach with the help. The pair continues its partnership on this new record, which was written fully by Pianezzola outside of the song "Dare", co-produced by Riccardo Menin (aka Cantona from the band Mont Baud) and Edoardo Pellizzari of Overdrive Studio.
Tomorrow, 20 September, Torba will perform at the Holy Festival in Verona, Italy, and the next day, at Covo, Bologna, Italy, with Follakzoid. Link
