21.09. NOSOUND – "Allow Yourself" (Kscope/Edel)
Following on from the release of the first single from Nosound’s forthcoming album, Allow Yourself, the band have revealed the new song “Shelter”.
The stunning new video was filmed between both the idyllic Greek island of Paros and Marston Marshes in Norwich, with both locations having a personal & emotional connection for both songwriter Giancarlo Erra and the two actresses in the clip.
The footage was personally shot by Giancarlo, “I had a very specific view in mind, I had the idea of a woman coming from the sea and meeting another woman in this field, without suggesting anything specific about the past of the two characters, or the nature of their meeting or relationship. Also, to me, without wanting to make a political statement, I needed to subtly make reference to a subject very dear to my home country, Italy, with the heart-breaking situation of migrants coming from the sea and some terrible politicians and diffused racism across the population.”
Whilst Giancarlo Erra prefers to leave his songs open to interpretation, he expressed how with “Shelter”, the main theme running through the song is one of human relationships and their ambivalence, as they can bring shelter but can also often be something we need to take shelter from. This ambivalence can be heard within the lyrics as they contrast between the hopeful verses and the doubtful choruses.
Erra explains in more depth how “Shelter” fits within the band’s evolving sound “the song showcases more than others the departure for Nosound from guitars or rock instrumentation/sound, the evolution in integrating electronics instead of omnipresent guitars and classic drums, and a renewed intention of leaving aside any form of instrument virtuosity while going towards a more contemporary and minimalist approach. It’s a song showing more than others how we're evolving our songwriting and applying it to a wider context of instruments and formats.”

PRESS RELELASE
Nosound's 2018 studio album Allow Yourself finds the band in a new space once more having grown alongside their evolving and borderless label Kscope. The new material is a stripping back of what has come before, and its inspirations are in a different field altogether, based on founder and songwriter Giancarlo Erra's own shifting interests.
"Time has arrived for a radical change towards an alternative and electronic direction, being the music I have enjoyed the most in recent years."
Giancarlo Erra chose the track "Don't You Dare" as the band’s first single & video to reveal this new direction: "The 'daring' aspect is part of the 'allowing yourself' process, expressed in this track by an unsettling melodic line and an unusual up-tempo conclusion with disco-like electronic drums. The song then begins its second stage, presenting acoustic instruments in new ways (cello) and then several synced electronics mixed with chopped/inverted acoustic parts."
Scintilla (2016) began the process and Allow Yourself takes the band's minimalist vision even further, incorporating elements from The National, Notwist, and Portishead, alongside an approach to mixing inspired by Bowie's Blackstar and Radiohead’s A Moon Shaped Pool.
Founder/writer Giancarlo Erra reflected on the direction of the new material, "The idea behind the album is encased in the title "Allow Yourself", something directed to the listener but was first of all directed to myself. After attempting to find my own way and leave behind early influences and categorisations, I realised I was afraid of committing to the full change I was chasing. I needed to put myself out of my comfort zone, which meant lots of studying and completely changing my studio and instrumentation. A truly deep change happened and I discovered that with uncertainty and insecurity, with limitations and uneasiness, a more varied and exciting creative process sparked."
Allow Yourself was recorded at Erra's The Bench Music in Norfolk, with additional recording in Rome at Binario2. Songwriting, engineering, mixing, production, mastering and artwork has been handled by the frontman, which has resulted in a coherent message in the band's new work.
