LABIRINTO DI SPECCHI (Labyrinth of Mirrors) is an Italian progressive band from Siena. Convened around 2005, the group released their first demo in 2007, called "La Maschera delle Visione." They caught the ear of Lizard Record's Loris Furlan who released their proper full length debut "Hanblecheya," now making waves with a sound Lizard calls "Porcupine Tree meets Pholas Dactylus." It reworks material from their early demo and adds some adventurous new compositions.
Modern electronic psych marries with RPI here and there are numerous more sparingly used flavors as well, such as post-rock, avant, folk, and ambient. The album features plenty of guitar, effects, melancholic piano, Italian vocals, and cello—highly evocative, trippy music from Gabriele Marroni, Filippo Menconi, Andrea Valerio, Raffaele Crezzini, and Michele Sanchini. There were a host of collaborators on the debut, most prominently legendary RPI vocalist Paolo Carelli, who recorded with the band PHOLAS DACTYLUS on their classic "Concerto delle Menti."
Blending old sounds with new, Labirinto's moody musical "photographs" often sound like a thunderstorm ravaged sky.
