Parbleu's Astral Adventure: 'Elios' - A Solar Sonic Suite Inspired by Mythological Journeys

Jul 22

Parbleu, the musical collective led by Andres Balbucea and Andrea De Fazio, embarks on an astral and ancient journey with their second LP, 'Elios,' released on Periodica Records. Drawing inspiration from the mythological adventures of Helios, they present a solar sonic suite of sky-seeking exotica that intertwines cosmic magic and faraway fantasy.

The album features elemental grooves that anchor textures of celestial wonder, with panoramic conga and bongo displays leading to moments of limbo line hysteria and fat-bottomed bass grooves gliding through layers of galactic grease. Phaser riffs and flangers arps harmonize in unison, while lyrical runs dart and dash through flourishes of baroque Turkish psychedelia. Moonbeam lasers fire over thrilling balearic escapes, as Iberian reeds dance joyously amidst jangling six-string sunstrokes.

Periodica Records, the independent label founded in Naples in 2014 by Dario di Pace aka Mystic Jungle, Cristiano Cesarano and Fabio Agostini, provides the perfect platform for Parbleu's genre-bending fusion of electronic and funk music.

Embracing the spirit of experimentation and fascination with collective storytelling, Parbleu's compositions transport listeners to specific historical moments.
