Reviews:

"Where there were sunny expanses now there is a rough terrain made of synthetic jazz, oblique Afrobeat and sinister Mediterranean areas made of arpeggios bordering on dissonance... there is the risk of repeating itself but Queenspectra's path is rare in terms of overall vision and quality." Rumore MAG (7/8)."

"Right from the first track, Wendehorn, Black Mother seems to pick up exactly where Sense of Wonder (2016 album) left us, that virtuous and enveloping sound where the distinctions between organic and digital, physical and virtual are gradually melting and getting lost. An imaginary soundtrack for contemporary Grand Guignol or a Freak Show: a nice definition that explains the atmosphere excellently, but does not give full credit to a record that contains Afrobeat, global-bass, Mediterranean psychedelia and cosmic electronics: all the recent most insightful musical reflections, the ideas and influences of the most spiritual or politically free contemporary jazz and at the same time the drifts of the most visionary and plastically three-dimensional electronics are collected in these fifty-five minutes."(7.2) Sentire Ascoltare Mag

"Nervous, dense, generative and conflictual psychedelia... the scifi narration of an 'ancient future', a very high profile musical mixture that expands into a network in which nodes receive and transmit jazzfunk, psychedelia and Italian electronics at the basin of Mediterranean as a place of exchange." - 7/8 Blow Up Magazine

Thank you for being part of our family all these years. (((QS)))

Press Concept (2018)

HDADD’s still keeping his immersive touch but focuses on a straightforward narrative where the contemplative moods of past works have been replaced by a fictional kind of nervous storytelling.

Don’t get it wrong: we’re still talking about psychedelia but forget the hippie, transcendent vibes of his last works and make room to this new dizzy experience whose depth is enhanced by an explicit songwriting and a production which, in some way, sounds more physical than ever before.

The record is structured on a series of episodes where mutant afro-beat blends with Mediterranean folklore and sci-fi electronics clash with ancient futurist ballads in order to create a murky cinematic atmosphere: a continuous chase where tension and relief, damnation and delight pursue each other.

We’ve this febrile jazzfunk that leads the listener in the twilight zone, where the deepest darkness and the highest enlightenment are dualist reflections in a mirror, which is placed at the core of the entire work. Imagine a rush in a gloomy sequence shot: an haunted corridor where sepia tones and fluorescence alternate fast like paints on a black wall.

This work aims to adapt as an imaginary soundtrack for a contemporary Grand Guignol or a Freak Show.
A metaphorical and existential description of our times and its rituals in which the audience is the show itself and no one is allowed to experience the drama in the comfort of a seat.
