Freak Valley 2016: Giöbia Added to Lineup
I’d like to think that the complete lineup is confirmed for Freak Valley 2016, and the festival — which is long since sold out — is just piecemealing bands out one at a time for its followers so that those of us unfortunate enough to not have tickets can maximize our regret at that fact. Mission accomplished, Freak Valley. The German fest has picked up another act for its mighty three-day run, and this time around it’s Italian space magnates Giöbia, whose fourth album, Magnifier, came out late last year on Sulatron. The band also have a new video for 12-minute single “Sun Spectre,” which is actually down from the 15-minute version that appears on the record. Yup, it’s like that.
The fest heralded their coming thusly. Video follows info:
With the greatest joy we can announce that Italian heavy psych rockers GIÖBIA will appear at Freak Valley Festival 2016.
Giobia has been one of the most influential psychedelic bands in Italy over the last years. Seduced by the lysergic side of the ‘60s, by exotic mantras and the evocative power of space-rock, Giöbia is a band from Milano, Italy with many facets and one only faith, that is to turn every encounter with sound into a psychedelic experience.
The band counts four members: Bazu (vocals and string instruments), Saffo (organ, violin, vocals), Detrji (bass) and Betta (drums) and their name – Giöbia – comes from an ancient pre-christian festivity celebrated in Northern Italy when a big straw puppet resembling a witch is burnt as a propitiatory ritual towards the forces of nature.
The sound of their new album “Magnifier” is heavier and darker than before, but still unique and will reveal the intimate bond with bands and soundtrack’s composers of Horror and Thrilling Italian Police movies of the 70’s.
We are honoured to present the brandnew Sun Spectre videoclip preview :
The 12 minutes plus of ‘Sun Spectre’ is epic Space Rock and a total trip…an intergalactic ghost ship drifting through darkest regions of space, buffeted by solar winds as it is slowly pulled into the void.
Sun Spectre video live recorded in Pnbox Studios (Pordenone, 22.1.16)
