DRANG by STROMBOLI

Drang’ (from the German, meaning impulse, push, persistence) is the new album by Stromboli (Maple Death Records, Oltrarno Recordings), the project of Bologna-based musician Nico Pasquini. Encompassing pulsating noise, propulsive percussion, as well as moments of ecstatic flight, the album depicts a post-human world of ambiguous sentience, where the distinction between humanity and simulation has become ill-defined and illusory. In this sense, ‘Drang’ represents a paradoxical vision of rarefied perception and indeterminate forms, vivid energy and unfamiliar resonances, bold revelation and concealed currents.

Written, recorded and produced by Nico Pasquini in Bologna at Downwards Home Studio in winter 2022.
