Second full-length album from Italy's Painting Petals On
Planet Ghost, aka brothers Maurizio & Roberto Opalio (My Cat
Is An Alien) and vocalist Ramona Ponzini (also involved in the
duo Praxinoscope, as well as a new project with Z'EV). Fallen
Camellias is a tribute to one of the greatest poetess ever,
Japanese Yosano Akiko, whose work in literature in the early
1900s is considered as manifesto of the Japanese Romanticism.
Imagine a Vashti Bunyan or a early Marianne Faithful singing
sweet melodies in Japanese language, and you can have an idea
of the musical and poetical universe of Painting Petals On
Planet Ghost. Here Ramona Ponzini's singing comes from the use
of Akiko's selected original poems in Japanese along with
Ponzini's own typical soft and enchanting wordless vocals
style, a out of time muse-like chant hypnotizing the ears and
the minds of the listeners. The songs of Fallen Camellias are
built on acoustic guitar melodies composed by Maurizio
Opalio,and are made of the same pure, melancholic essentiality
of the legendary Nick Drake; while, after contributing
arrangements of the most ecstatic nature, the other brother
Roberto Opalio has played the role of producer of the whole
album, searching for not only an aesthetic, but especially an
emotional ideal of perfection. In the heart of winter covered
by snow, let Fallen Camellias be your warm blanket, as well as
the promise of a new future spring. Here's a special Painting
Petals On Planet Ghost's dedication: For those who drink the
wine of love springtime is forever.
Comes in a deluxe 3 panels digipak!!! Don't miss it!
