Sherpa to Release Land of Corals on Nov. 6
There are a few places on the planet that use the phrase Land of Corals — which is the title of the forthcoming third LP from Italian psychedelic rockers Sherpa — among them St. Martin in the Caribbean and the Maldives, and I’m sure a tragically decreasing assortment of others do as well. For Sherpa, the living rocks, fish and other animals in and around one of the planet’s most vital ecosystems make form the apparent theme of the new outing, which follows behind an appearance on Psychedelic Battles Vol. 6 last year, a couple 2020 standalone singles, a live album from their performance at Roadburn 2019 (review here) and, seeming way back there in the long-ago, 2018’s Tigris & Euphrates (review here), which until this morning stood as their most recent full-length, though the band’s Matteo Dossena released the debut album Topsoils (review here) from the solo-project Year of Taurus in that time as well.
The first audio to come from Land of Corals is second track “High Walls,” which pairs industrial-style electronic pulsations alongside vibrant guitar and drifting vocals. Breadth and intensity, brought together, in less than four minutes. That’s who this band is.
Subsound Records posted a signing announcement a while ago that it had picked up the band. Here that is along with the album cover, tracklisting and so on. Preorders are up on Bandcamp:
SHERPA – Land of Corals
Dark Psychedelic Electronic Doom from Italy
We are so stoked to welcome in our roster a new band !
Sherpa is a project born in 2015 mainly run by Matteo Dossena (composer, singer and guitarist) and Franz Cardone (bass,synthetizers).
After their first psychedelic-pastoral album “Tanzlinde” (out on Sulatron Records, 2016) Sherpa was included in “Tregua 1997-2017 Stelle Buone”, an album by Cristina Donà which celebrate the 20 years anniversary of her debut album Tregua.
The second release, “Tigris & Euphrates” (out on Sulatron Records, 2018), moves on darker and heavier sounds and brings Sherpa to take part at Roadburn 2019.
After 4 years or composing and meditation a new album is born !
