As Schonwald, active since a decade, Luca Bandini and Alessandra Gismondi have released four albums, Amplified Nature, Dream For The Fall, Between Parallel Lights and the most recent Night Idyll (2017). The project Shad Shadows, born in the winter of 2014, could be considered as the doppelgänger of Schonwald. This is a second identity, specular and complementary to the first. The references are in this case coldwave, industrial and synthwave, the soundtracks of genre movies and electronic music, oriented to experimentation and to the dancefloor of the 80s/90s.
After the full lenght debut Minor Blues (2015) and the EP Fix (2017), Shad Shadows discography is now enriched with the second album Nocturnal, available starting from 8 November 2018 on all digital platforms and out in vinyl next 1st May 2019 thanks to the German label Young & Cold Records. The master is by Daniel Hallhuber, the artwork is by Micha G. Wald.
