Genre/Influences:
Electro-pop,
experimental-pop.
Background/Info:
One
year after their last album (cf. “Hologram Moon”) the Italian duo Kirlian
Camera already has a new full length (cf. “Pills”) in the pipeline. “Hellfire”
is a sonic bridge between both albums featuring new songs plus a few remixes.
Notice by the way “Hellfire” is also available as vinyl edit.

Kirlian
Camera is fascinated by science fiction, which might explain the choice of the
title song, which is a cover version of a song from the “Lucifer” TV-series. It
sounds as electro-pop made with industrial sound treatments. It has something
experimental-like, which is an aspect that also comes back at a few other new
songs. Another new song entitled “V2K” sounds as the most danceable cut from
the EP confirming the ‘dance’ skills of Angelo Bergamini and Elena Alice Fossi.
There
also is a remix from their compatriots of Blank, which takes us back to the
previous album and the song “Polar-IHS”.

Kirlian Camera is a formation that has progressively evolved over the
years, experimenting with different influences, but always had a nose to
compose alluring (hit)songs. This new EP –which rather appears to be a
mini-album, confirms this approach and the band’s move towards electro-pop
driven music. The title song is an original cover song, but I personally prefer
the dance vibes emerging from “V2K”. This work stands for diversity,
alternating catchy passages and experimentalism. Kirlian Camera also remains
characterized by the sensual voice of Elena Alice Fossi. Blank also did a great
job remixing “Polar-IHS”.

The title song is an original idea, but not exactly my favorite song
from the EP.
Conclusion:
While
fans are probably still under the influence of their last year released full
length, Kirlian Camera seems to have already announced a great new work.
There’s no better teaser than “Hellfire”.
Best
songs: “V2K”, “Metaluna – Milano Mix”, “Polar-HIS – Rmx by Blank”, “Hellfire”.
