With a sound that feels as much inspired by The Beach Boys as by Frank Ocean, the two artists have worked together during the last months of 2023 as well as the beginning of 2024, both in Amsterdam and in Rome, the two cities in which they currently live.
As two people that spent a big part of their life abroad and using English as their speaking language while both being Italian, the 5 tracks of their upcoming collaboration EP have taken the form of an English/Italian hybrid in their lyrics quite automatically, and touch on popular modern topics (ranging from pollution and the rising cost of life, to relationships and lonely summer landscapes) with quite a distinctive style that focuses a lot on timbre and sound quality, on top of the overall meaning of the songs.
The pieces see collaborations with fellow musicians of Trapani and Sconosciuto, both living in Amsterdam and in Rome (such as Marta Arpini, Sara Guidolin, Anja Gottberg, Alessandro Mazzieri and Beatrice Miniaci) as they are putting their effort also on creating a live band to perform the songs live as soon as possible by including these artists in their on stage rendition.
Line-up:
Anton Sconosciuto - Drums & vocals
Radio Trapani - Guitar & vocals
Anja Gottberg - Double bass & vocals
Sara Guidolin - Synth, cello, sampler & vocals
