- Taken from 'The River Suite', the 24 minutes suite that fills the A side of the album Domestic Routes.
In the era of self-generated playlists and 20-second tracks on Tik Tok, here’s some music that goes against the grain: a 1970s-style concept album.
ALBUMINE's first album 'Domestic Routes' is now available as a Hi resolution digital download on Bandcamp

Electronic sounds provide the canvas for various atmospheres, ranging from ambient to pop with moments that pay homage to the 1980s, as well as prog rock and experimentation.
The underlying theme is the sense of alienation in various forms, and this is evident both in the lyrics and the sound atmospheres that are mildly melancholic.
This project came to life as a collaborative effort, as is the spirit of Shuttle Records.
Claudio Giorgi's keyboards and drum machines are accompanied by Walter Marocchi's guitars and bouzouki, the electric bass of Maurizio Suraci (Torrevado Project), and the drums and percussion of Alex Reeves (Elbow).
Mark Hadley is the lead singer and his warm, scratchy timbre is reminiscent of the Peter Gabriel of the 1990s, while Giovanna Ferrara acts as his sweet and sensual counterpoint.
FausIvan, who’s from Argentina, offers a clear, slightly wistful vocal style, while the Anglo-Iranian PaPa Shiraz provides some surprising Hip Hop-style phrasing. Their voices can, however, only be heard on the vinyl version of the album or as bonus tracks on Bandcamp.
And, last but not least, there’s a real treat for devotees of the music of the 1960s: the fourth section of the suite, The Club, features the voice of the great late Roger Bunn. During the course of an eclectic career, he played with everyone from Jimi Hendrix to Roxy Music: he was the group’s first bassist, although he didn’t record with them. In 1969 he released a solo album, 'Piece of Mind', which has been described as “one of the great lost albums of the psychedelic era.” Roger’s carefully restored voice fits perfectly into the harmonic and rhythmic texture of the song, taking us back in time to the legendary UFO Club in Swinging London.

It’s an honor to have such a comment from a great artist. Thanks Steven
かっこいいですね〜！🔝🔝🔝
Une chanson rock atmosphérique dotée d'arrangements raffinés. L'interprétation vocale au ton feutré rappelle vaguement Elbow sur ce titre envoûtant. Ce morceau débordant de stimulantes sonorités métissées détient une charge émotionnelle exceptionnelle. Un pur délice auditif!

An atmospheric rock song with refined arrangements. The hushed vocal performance is vaguely reminiscent of Elbow on this haunting track. This track, brimming with stimulating mixed sounds, is exceptionally emotionally charged. A pure aural delight!
Added to Popstar playlist.
