Anandammide
Eura
Anandammide is a psychedelic folk project based in Paris and led by the Italian singer-songwriter Michele Moschini. It all started in Paris, where Michele lives since 2007. Coming from the Italian rock, prog and psychedelic scene (he's been the singer of Italian progressive band Floating State for a decade, releasing an album in 2003 on Lizard Records and taking part in a King Crimson's tribute album released on Mellow Records), in 2018 he gathered a few musicians from a British-French community orchestra. The debut album, 'Earthly Paradise' (2020, Lizard Records) has been acclaimed by critics. Almost four years later, Anandammide releases a new album, 'EURA,' featuring musicians from France, England, Italy and Sweden, most of them also appearing on 'Earthly Paradise.' Lisa Isaksson from Me And My Kites and Lisa o Piu sings on three songs, while two old friends, Lelio Mulas and Lorenzo Castigliego from Italy play bass and electric guitar. This album is less acoustic than the first one; the medieval and baroque influences are less present and the lyrics have abandoned the existential speculations to focus on the abiliy of man for self-destruction. Even the search for love loses its meaning, but the four-eyed girl from a late sixties drawing by Dino Buzzati hung on the wall in the parents' house still remains the symbol of the ideal woman. Her name is 'EURA.'
