Mokadelic - Chronicles [2CD] (2016)

Goodfellas present Mokadelic's new album, Chronicles. Mokadelic is considered the best Italian psychedelic-post-rock collective, a powerful band influenced by both the great Italian soundtrack composers of the '60s and '70s, and by bands such as Mogwai, Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Explosions In The Sky. After years of experience in the field of film music, including collaborations with directors such as Gabriele Salvatores and Stefano Sollima, Mokadelic became world famous thanks to their original soundtrack to the Italian TV series, Gomorrah (GDM 2101CD/LP, GDM 6650LP, 2016). That soundtrack was an emotionally intense musical narrative, including both spacious, melancholic atmospheres and extremely dense climaxes, all inspired by the haunting realism of the TV series. Chronicles appears to be their first stand-alone album since 2006; the first piece of work with no connections to film soundtracks or other special projects. A highly dense double set of music including a first volume (tracks 1-8) of post-rock oriented soundscapes, strategically followed by a heavy, electronics inspired second chapter (tracks 9-16). "Sleep One Eyed" features Nicolò Fabi.
