Albireon is an Italian neofolk outfit that is active for some 10 years now. The creative forces in this band are Davide Borghi (vocals, guitar. Lyrics) and Carlo Baja-Guarienti (keyboard, piano, flute). Later on Stefano Romagnoli (programmer, samples) and drummer Lorenzo Borghi joined the band. The sound of Albireon had become characterized by acoustic guitar and piano as well as ambient and industrial soundscapes. The band released album via Cynfeirdd and work with amongst others Sonne Hagal, Ian Read and Oda Relicta. The new album however gets released by the Italian label Palace of Worms . I Passi Di Liu can perhaps be considered the first serious full length album of the band on which all characteristics of their sound fall into place. The atmosphere on this recording is tranquil, modest and sometimes almost sacral. Yet not without emotion, since how could Italian vocals be possible without emotion? Those who love the isolationism side of ambient will definitely appreciate the soundscape like basis which supports the vocals, guitar and piano. Albireon obviously has grown over the past few years and I Passi Di Liu is an exceptionally beautiful recording.
