A audição do duo italiano Blauss que debutou este ano com o sublime "Sudden Step" foi indicação da amiga Esmeralda (Lady Sometimes Records e Weird.) daí obviamente que o TBTCI foi conferir atentamente e foi amor a primeira audição.
Um majestoso caleidoscópio repleto de imagens, nuances envolto a um clima de sonhos carregados de névoa sulfúrica. Pense em Tamaryn, pense em Siouxsie, pense em Bardo Pond, e tente unificá-los. A improvável mistura de todas essas referências é de onde vem o poderio de Mattia e Ilaria.
Uma voz divina atrelada a uma sonoridade avassaladora faz de "Sudden Step" um dos preferidos deste 2016 aqui no TBTCI.
