For Today by Agosta

“For Today” is a timeless album—a sonic journey that seamlessly blends electronic influences, Trip-Hop, Folk, Indie Rock, and Psychedelia.
It unfolds like an immersive soundscape, rich in complex atmospheres, experimental textures, and a deep emotional undercurrent. Agosta has envisioned a record that transcends trends and market conventions, crafting a cinematic, soul-stirring experience that fuses the intensity of trip-hop, the purity of folk, and the swirling colours of psychedelia.
The result is music that stimulates the intellect as much as it stirs the heart. With a delicate, refined touch and melodic depth, Agosta combines contemporary sounds with vintage warmth, pairing poetic lyrics with themes of love, introspection, and the human experience.
A standout element of “For Today” is the presence of five tracks featuring female performers and writers. This intergenerational collaboration brings a richness of perspective and emotional range to the album. Far from a simple gesture of gender inclusion, it serves as an authentic integration of diverse voices, offering new layers of sensitivity and storytelling.
Where Agosta’s previous work leaned more toward instrumental composition, here the inclusion of female voices adds lyrical nuance and depth. These contributions explore themes such as love, identity, relationships, and personal liberation—offering a poetic yet grounded lens through which to experience the album’s contemporary sound.
In essence, “For Today” is a mature and cohesive work that defies the boundaries of traditional genres, creating a unique and resonant sonic world.
Each track explores a different emotional and musical dimension, with meticulous attention to sound design and a clear desire for emotional experimentation. The album masterfully balances the introspective depth of trip-hop with the lightness and spirituality of folk, weaving together contemporary pop elements with touches of psychedelia and groove. The result is a perfect harmony between the artist’s vision and the musical craftsmanship of Salvo Bruno "Dub" — the alter ego of Roberto Agosta — who skillfully translates the artist’s imagination into sound with remarkable coherence and emotional depth.
The result is a compelling, emotionally charged, and genre-blending experience—one that invites listeners not only to hear, but to feel.
An absolute must-listen.

Roberto Agosta was born in Catania in May 1963, the last son in a family with many children. From an early age he participated in the collective listening sessions that his older brothers - music and politics enthusiasts - and his neighborhood friends, in turn, used to set up. From there was born his passion for ’70s prog, rock and psychedelia.
