Does the complexity that defines us as individuals already have a sacred function, or do we need to connect the cells we are made of to something more? This is what the new and third album by Le Pietre dei Giganti<\/strong>\u00a0titled Pastorale <\/strong><\/em>asks itself and the listener. The album will be released on April 10th, 2026<\/strong> on digital and double vinyl via Overdub Recordings<\/strong>, with digital distribution by Virgin\/Ingrooves and international distribution by Code7.<\/p>\n

Lorenzo Marsili (vocals, guitars), Francesco Utel (guitars, synths and samples, vocals, percussion), Niccol\u00f2 Pizzamano (bass) and Francesco Nucci (drums, percussion) draw inspiration from the interaction between humans and nature, from the idea of \u200b\u200bthe universe as a physical and chemical system. This inspiration melds perfectly with the cover artwork<\/strong> by Morgan Sorensen (See Machine), where the subject and space are represented according to a rational vision. The color red and the circle above it trigger an emotional response. Our brains follow the rules of the world around us, but culturally we associate this emotional reaction with a depth that goes beyond matter.<\/p>\n

According to the Florentine band: “The term Pastorale<\/em><\/strong>, translated into English as Pastoral<\/em>, has several meanings, one of which is a musical composition inspired by rural life and man’s relationship with nature. The word is sometimes used in a religious context, as it gives its name to the bishop’s staff. Considering the existential reflections in the songs, the album can be interpreted as a pastoral, where nature is however described with the scientific determinism of our modernity.”<\/div>\n

Compared to Veti e Culti<\/em>, the previous album from 2022 focused on esoteric psychedelia, Pastorale<\/em><\/strong>‘s stoner rock<\/strong> style is enriched with world music<\/strong> influences: heavy guitars and dark atmospheres are driven by grooves born from experimentation with Latin and Caribbean polyrhythms. So, the rhythms maintain a tribal imprint, while acquiring an ethnic-popular nuance, accentuated by the use of percussion, handclappings, and multi-voiced melodies.<\/p>\n

Out on March 27th, brand new single Sulla Sequoia<\/em><\/strong> talks about the passage of time, referring to the image of the witch who travels between past and present<\/span>, and is supported by an animated videoclip<\/strong> made by director Adriano Razzi.<\/p>\n

Le Pietre dei Giganti<\/strong> take another step forward in terms of personality, producing an elaborate and surprising work, recorded, mixed and mastered by Leonardo Magnolfi at El-Sop Recording Studio.<\/p>\n
